The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course never turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

In case you discover yourself to be in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2 in the morning and nobody was about. It had been fairly uneventful so far, and John and I were loafing looking through a couple of old magazines. That was a rare restful moment in Somerset. It was indeed that peaceful that the instant my mobile rang it made me start! The person on the opposite end said: "I just ended my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a diesel shiny Jaguar XJ in error". I instructed him to let us know where he was and we headed out, ending up in Highbridge less than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car and he thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly. While we were going back home we found two ladies on the side of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. As a result we got out to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
