The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lancashire we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely do not start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Wednesday and we were en route to help an old sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel navy blue BMW 6 Series in Brook Bottom. I had been advised she had left the filling station and was broken down on a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she said to me, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a week ago because my other car, which I had used for over twenty years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious Lancashire woman!

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 VA 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.
