The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lancashire we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix all types of AdBlue 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.
