The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not understanding the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In the event that you get in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I had a great evening golfing during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the next working day as I set off to help a new family who were on vacation in Phoenix Row. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their mint green Isuzu i-350, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling her husband off for being so silly. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this situation comes to pass continuously in County Durham and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he all the same had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I waved so long and pondered on what my missus would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

We a few weeks ago got a phone call about a businessman who put the wrong fuel in his metallic green Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class in Phoenix Row. He had ground to a halt on the road. "After adding petrol in my diesel car I didn't recognise the problem until it conked out. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it functioning . I was pleased as a result of both your call-out time and your price". Of course we arrived on the scene promptly and purged the engine after draining the petrol from the diesel tank.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was around sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It was rather uneventful so far, and Ryan and I were sitting around perusing a number of old papers. That was a rare peaceful time in County Durham. Actually it was indeed that calm that when the phone finally rang it made me jump! The motorist stated: "I've ended my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel spotless Chevrolet Silverado by mistake". I instructed him to let us know where exactly he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Phoenix Row not as much as an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. While we were going back to the office we saw two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat.

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.
