The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course never crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

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 VAT 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.
