The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Hertfordshire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you may most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of 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.
