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


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Suffolk we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
