The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously do not start up the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Should you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
