The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not understanding the way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Phone us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sturminster Newton - Wrong Fuel in Car Sturminster Newton

I had appreciated a wonderful evening golfing on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a new couple on holiday in Sturminster Newton. They had conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their expensive Volvo850, and were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed as I listened to the lady chastising her spouse for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass quite frequently in Dorset and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, but he all the same had an ear bashing. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted so long and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
