It was just before seven pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 8th job that day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Willstone and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel compact Subaru Impreza hire car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably happen. She managed to get the car into a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find the woman rather quickly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Shropshire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely never start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix different types 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 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.
