The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If perhaps you get in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was around 2:30am and nobody was around. It was fairly dead until now, and me and Ryan were relaxing browsing some old newspapers. It was an uncommon calm time in Gloucestershire. It was indeed so peaceful that when my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone stated: "I have finished my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a diesel dark green Audi RS6". I told him to let us know exactly where he was and we left, reaching him in Snowshill less than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor. He said thank you for showing up so fast. As we were heading back home we noticed two young ladies on the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
