The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Littleton - Wrong Fuel in Car Littleton

I had enjoyed a perfect evening hiking during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a young couple on holiday in Littleton. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel in their sunflower yellow Lexus LFA, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her husband for being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs quite frequently in Hampshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he all the same had an earful by his wife. Poor chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted farewell and thought about what my wife would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd 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 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.
