The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Dorset we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely don't start the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or 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.
