The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Should you get in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Harton - Wrong Fuel in Car Harton

I'd had a wonderful day hiking on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next working day as I was on the way to assist a young couple who were away in Harton. They conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their trusty Toyota Yaris, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and laughed as I heard to the girl telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing happens all the time in North Yorkshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to stress about, however he still got his ear bent by his wife. Poor guy. Anyways, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

A driver from Harton with a full car of children in her diesel dad's Audi Q5 had put £40 of petrol at the Tesco service station. She contacted us weeping and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that everything should be ok and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked.

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.
