The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Derbyshire we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly don't turn over the car - not even to shift it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Calow - Wrong Fuel in Car Calow

I had a fantastic afternoon golfing during my off day and felt cheerful the next morning as I set off to assist a new family on holiday in Calow. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their dad's Daewoo Leganza, and the car was close to an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem goes on constantly in Derbyshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing by his wife. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved so long and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
