The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BA22 Postcode - Lower Odcombe Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an old lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel gorgeous Audi S8 in Lower Odcombe. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a rural road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I had just bought it a week ago right after my previous one, which I had owned for about thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Somerset woman!

A gentleman had broken down just near a road in Lower Odcombe. His mum's Kia Spectra car had stopped operating and he'd no clue what was wrong until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Odcombe

Now I am not ever excessively keen on working on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just departed home after a tasty Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was off to deal with a fellow after he put the wrong petrol in his classic Volkswagen Eurovan. He was situated in Lower Odcombe so it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on other considerations and did not realise I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created harm by running it?" I revealed there probably should not be any harm and also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and thus another contented customer was able to carry on with their journey without any difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and that tends to make working on weekends in Somerset that little bit easier for me personally!

It truly was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 2:30am and noone was stirring. It had become fairly dead thus far, and me and Paul were loafing reading several old papers. This was an uncommon peaceful moment in Somerset. Actually it was that calm that when the telephone rang I jumped! The motorist on the other end told me: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in my new-shape Vauxhall Bedford by mistake". We asked him to inform us where he was and we set off, ending up in Lower Odcombe an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine and he said many thanks for coming so rapidly. As we were going back to the depot we saw two ladies on the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
