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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. 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.
