The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Waltham Forest we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not knowing how to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely never turn over the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of different types of AdBlue liquid 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.
