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


AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Sussex we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

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

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

A driver from West Grinstead with a full car of youngsters in her diesel green BMW M3 had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Tesco station. She phoned us crying and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We told her that the car would be ok and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.

  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.
