The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Hampshire we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

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

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to shift it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Should you end up in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical expertise and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Crawley - Fuel Rescue Crawley

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around 2am and nobody was stirring. It had become pretty dead up to now, and me and Paul were sitting about reading a few old newspapers. That was an uncommon restful time in Hampshire. It was in fact that quiet that the moment the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The person explained: "I've just finished my evening shift and foolishly poured petrol in the diesel brand new Seat Leon in error". We asked him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Crawley less than an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He thanked us profusely for getting there so quickly. As we were coming back to the depot we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

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.
