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


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Call us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA11 Postcode - West Lydford Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Wednesday and I was off to help an older lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel sombre grey Range Rover Sport in West Lydford. She told us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up on a country road on route to visit her godchildren. I punched her location into the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I am getting rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only got it a few days ago after my former one, which I had had for about twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Somerset lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car West Lydford

We carried out a wrong fuel removal job on the drive of a spectacular property in West Lydford a few weeks ago.

Our fuel drainer went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and did a standard fuel drain and cleanse on the beloved Mercedes SL-Class .

Wrong Fuel Doctor West Lydford - Fuel Rescue West Lydford

A motorist working in West Lydford called us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel uncle's Ford Ranger and, like countless prior to her, believed that she could basically top up the vehicle with diesel and it'd run fine. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she came to the the front of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired within an hour or so whilst she was at the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm really glad you repaired my vehicle."

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.
