The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
