The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

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

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

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 VAT 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.
