The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Norfolk we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from people not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And of course do not start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I had enjoyed a great day cycling during my off day and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I set out to help a new family away in Filby Heath. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their metallic red Fiat Panda, and were about an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this happens quite frequently in Norfolk and that it is nothing to get worried about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
