The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

If you get in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical skills and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
