Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Rowberrow and filled petrol in a diesel new Smart Forfour rental in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely don't start the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to every type of AdBlue fluid 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.
