The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Richmond upon Thames we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly never start up the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in KT22 Postcode - Fetcham Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Sunday and I was en route to assist an older sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel aunt's VW Scirocco in Fetcham. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and broken down along a backwater lane along the way to see her family. I got the location punched into the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was working she explained, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had just acquired it a few days back when my former one, which I had owned for more than 30 years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Richmond upon Thames lady!

I had enjoyed a fantastic day cycling during the weekend and was feeling pleased the following working day as I set out to aid a young family who were away in Fetcham. They broken down after inserting diesel in their dark blue BMW Z4 M Roadster, and were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "How could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place continuously in Richmond upon Thames and that it's really nothing to worry about, nonetheless he yet still got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved so long and wondered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
