It was around 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated there going over the recent golf results, ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Tarrant Keyneston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Audi RS 4 lease car. She was quite irritated apparently, stating "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Dorset we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to switch on the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If you have started the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to every type of AdBlue liquid 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.
