The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lancashire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely do not crank the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and we were off to help an elder woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel modern Hyundai Elantra in Thornton. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I reached the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a couple of days back after my former one, which I used for over 30 years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Lancashire lady!

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and nobody was about. It was pretty uneventful up to now, and me and Brian were loafing around perusing a number of old articles. It was an uncommon tranquil moment in Lancashire. It was in fact that peaceful that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone explained: "I just ended my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel teal Land Rover Range Rover Classic". I told him to inform us where the vehicle was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Thornton less than an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us for arriving so promptly. As we were heading back home we spotted two young women at the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
