The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Herefordshire we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely don't start the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all kinds 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:

    • 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.
