The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cambridgeshire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can 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.
