The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Dorset we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In case you find yourself in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
