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


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely do not crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you have started the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

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.
