The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Rutland we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course don't start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid 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.
