The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Northumberland we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Wrong Fuel Assist Barrow Burn - Wrong Fuel in Car Barrow Burn

I had appreciated a terrific day fishing on my off day and was feeling contented the following working day as I was on the way to assist a new couple away in Barrow Burn. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their yellow Kia Spectra, and they were about an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass all the time in Northumberland and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, however he still got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyway, I drained out all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Barrow Burn

Now I'm not ever excessively excited about doing the job Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had just left the family after eating a tasty lunch cooked for me by the missus, and I was off to help a man who had filled the incorrect fuel in his trusty Audi RS4. He was somewhere in Barrow Burn so it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I drove up at the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and failed to ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about any kind of harm as a result of driving it?" I stated that there should not be any damage and also I would drain the contaminated fuel quickly. Naturally I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and so yet another contented client was able to continue on his traveling without the need for hassle. The man could not stop thanking me, and this is what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Northumberland that little less painful for me personally!

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.
