AdBlue in a petrol tank needs attention too
AdBlue is not petrol and does not belong in a petrol fuel tank. If a bottle has been poured into the wrong filler, leave the engine and ignition off and contact us. Tell us explicitly that the vehicle is petrol-powered.
Has the engine been used?
If you have driven since adding the fluid, stop when safe and do not restart. Tell us the amount added, how far the vehicle travelled and any symptoms. The condition of the fuel system needs assessment before the outcome can be known.
Removal based on your vehicle
We discuss the contaminated tank, safe access and the work needed. The amount of fluid, tank design and whether it has circulated all affect the approach. Further inspection may be required.
Call before trying a fix
Do not try to dilute the contamination with more petrol. Call 0333 772 1724 with your location, vehicle registration and incident details to discuss help across Scotland.
