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


AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course never start the car - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you have started the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Should you find yourself in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
