The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Hampshire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
