It was just before 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! James and I were relaxing talking about the recent footy results, ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Patchetts Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel shiny Hyundai lease car by mistake. She was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things can happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hertfordshire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not being aware of how to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Should you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical competence and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
