The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Suffolk we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

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.
