The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lancashire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously never start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Sunday and I was on the way to help an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel khaki green Audi A7 in Pilling. I'd been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater lane on route to visit her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she told me, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I'd just purchased it a week ago when my other car, which I had for about 30 years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Lancashire lady!

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.
