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


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Suffolk we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

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

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously take care not to start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Should you end up in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical skills and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and we were on the way to assist an old lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel beautiful Volkswagen Golf III in Sudbourne.

I finished the drain and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a precious Suffolk woman!

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.
