The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you find yourself in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

His rust red Mazda engine had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Moolham

I am certainly not too inclined to running on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left home filled with a superb roast cooked by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a guy who filled the wrong petrol in his husband's Volvo V50. He was situated in Moolham hence I arrived with him very quickly. Just as I drove up right behind the car and got out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I had my attention on stuff and failed to ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about any damage through running it?" I revealed truth be told there probably should not be any kind of damage and that also I would get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and so one more satisfied client had the ability to continue their journey without the need for difficulty. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that helps make operating on Sundays in Somerset just that little bit less painful in my opinion!

This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was about sunrise and almost noone was around. It had become fairly uneventful thus far, and Ryan and I were relaxing browsing a few old newspapers. It was a rare quiet time in Somerset. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that the moment the phone rang I jumped! The voice explained: "I just finished my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the sunflower yellow Audi Quattro". I instructed him to inform us where the vehicle was situated and we headed out, ending up in Moolham only 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor. He said thanks for arriving so rapidly. While we were returning home we saw two young ladies at the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, 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.
