The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Wiltshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

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

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle 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.
