The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

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.
