The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Surrey we have discovered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not understanding the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely take care not to start the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

A customer working in Addlestone called us shortly after she had managed to get her misfueled automobile to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel silver BMW 600 and, like many people before her, assumed that she would be able to simply top up the tank with diesel and it would be fine. The car was coughing and then it stopped when she got to the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired inside an hour or so while she was in the 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 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.
