The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Lancashire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid 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 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.
