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


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

In case you end up in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical competence and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Frost Hill

I'm certainly not so keen on working on weekends, and last week was the same. I'd only just departed home after a wonderful lunch cooked for me by the missus, and I was en route to assist a man who put the wrong fuel in his blue MINI Cooper. He was somewhere in Frost Hill hence I arrived on scene almost immediately. As I drove up behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my attention on something else and failed to grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted some problems by simply starting it?" I stated that there probably should not be problems and that also I would get the contaminated fuel drained right away. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with the correct fuel, and then yet another delighted client could carry on with his journey with no difficulty. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this makes carrying out work on Sundays in Somerset just that small bit less painful to me!

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.
