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


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hertfordshire we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

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.
