The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly never start the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Little Norton - Wrong Fuel in Car Little Norton

I had appreciated a terrific day fishing during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I was en route to aid a young couple on holiday in Little Norton. They pulled over after adding petrol into their customised Land Rover Defender 90, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked while I heard to the girl berating her husband for being so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this situation comes to pass constantly in Somerset and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he all the same had his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
