In due time we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Southill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Mercedes C-Class rental car by mistake. The poor thing was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct every type of AdBlue liquid 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.
