The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Suffolk we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And of course be careful not to start the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to every type 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.
