The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In County Durham we have seen a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly never turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

In the event that you end up in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

This was exactly what is called the night shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and noone was about. It was rather dead so far, and Mark and I were relaxing perusing some old articles. That was a rare peaceful time in County Durham. It was indeed so calm that the instant the telephone finally rang I leaped! The customer on the phone explained: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in the rust red Volkswagen Touareg in error". We told him to tell us where exactly the car was and we headed out, arriving in Mount Pleasant an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the car. He said thanks for coming out so quickly. As we were heading back to the office we noticed two young women on the side of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, 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 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.
