The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

In Tyne and Wear we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

They conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their mint condition Smart Forfour, and they were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the gal telling her partner off for being so stupid.

Wrong Fuel in Car Tyne and Wear - Petrol in Diesel Car Tynemouth

Now I'm not ever overly keen on doing work Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids after having a tasty dinner cooked by the missus, and I was off to deal with a fellow who had filled the incorrect fuel in his shiny Volkswagen Beetle. He was situated in Tynemouth therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I drove up behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my thoughts on something else and didn't grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any damage by driving it?" I stated that truth be told there shouldn't be damage and that also I would personally drain the fuel at once. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and yet another satisfied motorist was able to continue on their journey without any bother. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this can make working on Sundays in Tyne and Wear a little bit easier to me!

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.
