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


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not understanding how to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

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

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

A driver from Backwell Common with her children in her diesel bright red Suzuki Grand Vitara had put £20 of petrol at the filling station. She contacted us weeping and really worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the car should be fine and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the kids on board."

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.
