The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely don't switch on the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you find yourself in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

A driver from Richmond with her little ones in her diesel red Volvo940 had filled her vehicle with £45 of petrol at the Tesco service station.

We reassured her that all should be fine and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that help was at hand 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.
