The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have noticed increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not knowing the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly never turn over the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all kinds 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.
