The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not understanding the way to use it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical skills and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

A somewhat concerned motorist called us from the Texaco filling station at Somerset to tell us that he had put unleaded in to his diesel modern VW GTI; he wasn't really sure how he'd done it. We said to him it was absolutely no hassle and soon had our technician out to him to clean the incorrect fuel from his vehicle. Having taken out the bad fuel, he was almost immediately back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the guy who was sent to take care of the fuel drain was genuinely excellent - he didn't make me look ridiculous."

A customer employed in Holcombe called us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel luxury Seat and, like many before her, believed that she would be able to just top up her vehicle with diesel and it would run okay. The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she came to the entrance of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted inside one hour while she was working.

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.
