The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hammersmith and Fulham we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not knowing the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

In the event that you get in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
