The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Shropshire we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely never switch on the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

A fairly concerned customer phoned us from the Texaco filling station at Shropshire to advise us that he put unleaded in his diesel modern Mitsubishi Lancer; he wasn't really quite sure how he'd done it.

He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the technician who came out to perform the fuel drain was very fantastic - he didn't make me look and feel foolish."

This was exactly what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around dawn and noone was stirring. It had become fairly uneventful up to now, and Ryan and I were loafing looking through a couple of old articles. It was an unusual peaceful moment in Shropshire. It was indeed so relaxing that the instant my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the brother's Mercedes CLK-Class". We got him to let us know just where the car was and we set off, getting to him in Glan-yr-afon no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the car. He thanked us for getting there so quickly. As we were coming back to the office we noticed two ladies on the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. As a result we got out and helped 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 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.
