The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Northamptonshire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being aware of how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Northamptonshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

A customer who had sadly put petrol in his diesel old Toyota Yaris phoned us for a fuel drain at the Texaco petrol station in Wellingborough. He thought it would be good to top up before continuing on to the nearby holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded instead of diesel which unfortunately wasn't a great way to begin to our holiday break."

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 VAT 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.
