The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around Suffolk we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And of course don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

In case you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NR35 Postcode - Mettingham Misfueling

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were on my way to help an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel cream Citron C4 in Mettingham. I had been informed she had left the petrol station and was pulled up on a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was working she explained, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel seeing that I had only just acquired it a short while ago when my other car, which I had owned for in excess of 30 years, finally broke down". I completed the job and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Suffolk lady!

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.
