The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Worcestershire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

He was located in Shell therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other things and failed to ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about any kind of harm simply by running it?" I said that truth be told there should not be any kind of harm and also that I'd drain the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I drained the fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and thus one more satisfied customer had the ability to continue on their trip without any bother.

This was what we call the night shift. It was about dawn and noone was around. It had been rather uneventful up to now, and Ryan and I were relaxing looking through a couple of old papers. This was an unusual tranquil hour in Worcestershire. It was indeed that relaxing that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The person explained: "I have only just completed my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in the stylish Toyota FJ Cruiser". We asked him to let us know where the vehicle was and we left, ending up in Shell not as much as an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was removed from the engine. He thanked us profusely for getting there so rapidly. While we were coming back home we spotted two ladies at the side of the road who looked like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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 VAT 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.
