The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Gloucestershire we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the person who came out to carry out the fuel drain was genuinely excellent - he didn't make me appear a fool."

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 VAT 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.
