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


AdBlue In Diesel

In Somerset we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Call us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

I'd had a wonderful afternoon fishing during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set off to help a new couple who were on holiday in Little Weston. They'd pulled over after filling diesel into their beloved Chevrolet Caprice, and were around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed as I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass quite frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing to stress about, nonetheless he yet still had an earful by his wife. Unlucky lad. In any case, I drained out all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!

This was most definitely what is called the night shift. It was around dawn and nobody was stirring. It was pretty quiet up to now, and Ryan and I were relaxing reading several old newspapers. That was a rare quiet moment in Somerset. It was that quiet that the instant my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone told me: "I have just finished my night shift and stupidly put petrol in the new Ford Taurus in error". We told him to inform us just where the vehicle was and we set off, reaching him in Little Weston only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for coming so quickly. While we were going back to the depot we saw two young women at the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. So we stopped and helped 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.
