The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue 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.
