The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely don't start up the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly 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.
