The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lancashire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly never switch on the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

In the event that you get in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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:

    • 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.
