The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hammersmith and Fulham we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you get in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
