The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lancashire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not understanding how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course don't turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sandylands - Wrong Fuel in Car Sandylands

I had a wonderful day fishing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I was on the way to assist a new family on vacation in Sandylands. They stopped after adding diesel in their buff Ford Escort, and they were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this goes on all the time in Lancashire and that it's actually nothing at all to worry about, however he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted so long and wondered what my wife would do to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would never live it down!

A young lady from Sandylands with a full car of youngsters in her diesel cyan Ford Transit had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She called us sobbing and extremely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that all should be okay and that she would be back on the road very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children on board."

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.
