The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct every type of AdBlue 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.
