The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lancashire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

I had enjoyed a fantastic day hiking on my day off and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I set out to help a young family on holiday in Spring Green. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their well worn Ford Focus, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass quite frequently in Lancashire and that it's nothing to stress about, nonetheless he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted farewell and pondered on what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
