The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Dorset we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to crank the car - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car West Southbourne

I'm not necessarily overly hot for doing the job weekends, and the other day was no different. I had only just left the family filled with a wonderful roast cooked by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a man because he filled the wrong petrol in his friend's Jaguar. He was only in West Southbourne so I was with him very quickly. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my attention on something else and failed to realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted problems as a result of driving it?" I explained there should not be any kind of problems and also that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and thus one more delighted client could carry on with his journey without any subsequent bother. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make operating on Sundays in Dorset just a small bit easier to me!

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.
