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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the vehicle.

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

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you end up in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical expertise and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
