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


AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HG4 Postcode - Greygarth Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Sunday and I was on the way to help an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Mazda323 in Greygarth. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded in a country lane on route to visit her family. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I reached the destination and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I had only just purchased it several days ago after my other car, which I had for over 25 years, finally died on me". I got the job completed and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a precious North Yorkshire lady!

A customer from Greygarth with a full car of children in her diesel dark red Suzuki Grand Vitara had put £30 of petrol at the Shell station. She called us sobbing and extremely upset as she had never wrong fueled previously and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything would be ok and that she would be in action quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.

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.
