The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

    • 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 VAT receipt.
