The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have found progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously do not crank the motor - not even to move it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
