The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Croydon we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not knowing the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix different types 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.
