The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In the event that you get in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BA4 Postcode - West Compton Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on the way to help an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel mum's BMW in West Compton. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up along a country road on route to visit her godchildren. I popped her location into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd just got it a couple of days back because my previous car, which I'd used for more than 30 years, inevitably died". I completed the job and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Somerset lady!

A motorist driving in West Compton phoned us after she had managed to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mustard yellow Dodge Charger and, like plenty prior to her, believed that she would be able to basically fill up her tank with diesel and it would run no problem. The car was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her office.

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.
