The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northumberland we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

I appreciated a perfect day fishing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful the next day as I headed out to help a new couple holidaying in Old Swarland. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their black Mitsubishi, and the car was around an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady berating her spouse for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this situation occurs all the time in Northumberland and that it's nothing to stress about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

We had a call from a driver who had put the incorrect fuel in his daughter's Nissan Murano in Old Swarland. He had conked out on the road. "After inserting petrol in my diesel car I didn't realize the issue till the time I stopped working. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it functioning once again. I was happy as a result of both how quick you were and your price". Needless to say we showed up promptly and flushed the engine after draining the unleaded from the diesel tank.

This was certainly what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had been pretty uneventful so far, and John and I were sitting around looking through a number of old articles. It was a rare tranquil moment in Northumberland. It was so calm that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The customer said: "I've ended my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel teal Volvo940 by mistake". We instructed him to inform us where exactly he was located and we set off, reaching him in Old Swarland less than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so fast. While we were returning home we spotted two ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
