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


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Wiltshire we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle 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:

    • 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 VAT receipt.
