The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we are discovering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not being aware of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue fluid 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 VAT 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.
