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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely take care not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
