The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

In case you end up in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised competence and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or 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.
