The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

    • 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.

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.
