The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Greater Manchester we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely take care not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to different types 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.
