The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Norfolk we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And of course don't start the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

If perhaps you find yourself in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This really was the night shift. It was around sunrise and noone was around. It had become fairly dead thus far, and Paul and I were relaxing reading through several old newspapers. It was an uncommon tranquil hour in Norfolk. It was indeed that peaceful that the instant the telephone rang it made me jump! The customer told me: "I just ended my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a diesel old MINI Cooper Countryman". We got him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was and we headed out, reaching him in Bradwell under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming so quickly.

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.
