The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around East Sussex we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised competence and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel.

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about sunrise and almost noone was around. It had become pretty dead thus far, and me and Ray were sitting around reading a few old papers. That was an unusual peaceful moment in East Sussex. It was indeed so relaxing that the moment the telephone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist said: "I ended my night shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a diesel partner's Kia Spectra". I got him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we left, reaching him in High Hurstwood under an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. As we were going back home we noticed two women at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
