The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

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

As the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly do not crank the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
