The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Dorset we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not understanding how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely do not start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of all 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.
