The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lincolnshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix every type 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.
