The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lewisham we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle different types of AdBlue liquid 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.
