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


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course do not turn over the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue liquid 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.
