The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Leicestershire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In the event that you get in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the technical skills and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

A gentleman had broken down just near a road in Swinford.

A lady living in Swinford called us after she managed to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put petrol in her diesel bright yellow Audi RS4 and, like many people prior to her, believed that she would be able to just fill her vehicle with diesel and it'd be no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her work.

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.
