The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't switch on the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Northwick

We got a phone call from a customer whose metallic yellow Toyota had conked out on a road after a misfuel. "I confused the pumps and put petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle by mistake. You came out and resolved the issue when my vehicle died." We purged the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel lines thoroughly and the driver could carry on with his scheduled delivery.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Northwick - Fuel Rescue Northwick

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and noone was around. It had become rather uneventful up to now, and me and Paul were loafing around looking through a couple of old newspapers. That was a rare quiet moment in Somerset. Actually it was indeed that calm that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The person explained: "I have ended my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the work's Subaru Legacy in error". I instructed him to tell us where exactly the car was and we hit the road, reaching him in Northwick only half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he thanked us for coming so quickly. As we were going back home we saw two women at the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
