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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Dorset we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not knowing the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And of course do not switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you did start the car you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

If you end up in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DT9 Postcode - Oborne Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and I was off to assist an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel daughter's Daihatsu Charade in Oborne. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up on a backwater road en route to visit her godchildren. I plugged her location in the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I got to the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd just purchased it a short while ago after my former car, which I'd owned for over thirty years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Dorset woman!

A driver from Oborne with a full car of children in her diesel dark red Fiat Multipla had put £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She contacted us sobbing and very upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what could happen to her car . We assured her that all should be ok and that she would be ready to go very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked.

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.
