The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Dorset we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely do not switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Should you get in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel because I'd only bought it a short while back because my old car, which I'd had for in excess of 30 years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Dorset woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Merriott

I'm not that excited about carrying out work Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids filled with a lovely Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was on the way to help a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his racing green Mercedes Sprinter 2500. He was only in Merriott hence it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I arrived at the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I had my mind on stuff and did not ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused any kind of damage by starting it?" I said there probably should not be any kind of harm and that I would personally drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible for him. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and thus another content customer could continue his trip without any hassle. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what can make working on weekends in Dorset that tiny bit easier to me!

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.
