The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Merseyside we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely do not start the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Should you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the practical skills and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was exactly an unsociable hour to be up. It was around 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become quite dead until now, and Brian and I were loafing around reading a number of old magazines. It was an uncommon quiet moment in Merseyside. Actually it was so peaceful that when the telephone ultimately rang I jumped! The person told me: "I've ended my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in a boss' BMW Z4 M Roadster by mistake". We got him to tell us where exactly he was and we headed out, getting to him in Eastham Ferry less than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine and he said many thanks for coming so promptly. As we were returning home we found two women on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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 VAT 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.
