The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Staffordshire we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct every type 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 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.
