The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!

We're able to help to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the typical troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you get in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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:

    • 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.

  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.
