The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct all types 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.
