The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers being unsure of how to use it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Any time you end up in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was quite quiet so far, and me and Brian were relaxing reading through a couple of old papers. That was a rare quiet time in Hertfordshire. It was indeed so tranquil that the moment my mobile inevitably rang I jumped! The customer on the phone stated: "I've finished my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the baby blue Citron C4". We told him to tell us exactly where he was situated and we left, ending up in Clay End an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he said thanks for coming out so quickly. As we were returning to base we found two young ladies at the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
