The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Norfolk we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the vehicle.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Any time you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no 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.
