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


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Dorset we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from people being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to start the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue 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.
