Wrong Fuel in Your Car? Fuel Doctor UK Can Help
Putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle is a surprisingly common mistake that can happen to anyone. Every year thousands of UK drivers accidentally put petrol in a diesel car, diesel in a petrol vehicle, or even AdBlue in the wrong tank.
The important thing is acting quickly. Taking the wrong step — such as starting the engine — can circulate contaminated fuel through the system and cause serious damage to your vehicle.
If this happens, Fuel Doctor UK is here to help.
Our mobile technicians provide fast, professional wrong fuel drain services across the UK, helping drivers safely remove contaminated fuel and get back on the road as quickly as possible.
Understanding the Risks of Wrong Fuel
Modern vehicles are designed to operate with very specific fuel types. When the wrong fuel enters the system, it can disrupt the engine and fuel components.
Petrol in a Diesel Car
Diesel fuel lubricates critical components such as the fuel pump and injectors. Petrol does not provide this lubrication. When petrol enters a diesel system, it can increase friction and potentially damage sensitive components.
Diesel in a Petrol Car
Petrol engines are not designed to burn diesel properly. Diesel is thicker and does not ignite in the same way as petrol, which can cause misfiring, smoke, and engine failure if the contaminated fuel is not removed quickly.
AdBlue in the Fuel Tank
AdBlue is used in modern diesel vehicles to reduce emissions and must only be placed in its dedicated reservoir. If AdBlue is mistakenly added to the fuel tank, it can crystallise and contaminate the fuel system, often requiring specialist fuel drainage and cleaning.
What To Do If You Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Car
If you realise the mistake at the petrol station or shortly after filling up, follow these steps immediately:
Do NOT start the engine
Starting the engine will circulate contaminated fuel through the system, increasing the risk of damage.
Turn the engine off immediately
If you have already started the car, switch it off as soon as possible.
Call a professional fuel drain service
The safest solution is to have the contaminated fuel professionally drained and the system flushed.
