The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Greensted Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Greensted Green

I appreciated a terrific day hiking on my holiday and was feeling contented the next morning as I was on the way to assist a young family on vacation in Greensted Green. They'd conked out after putting diesel in their uncle's Peugeot Boxer, and the car was approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I listened to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in Essex and that it's nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my missus would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Greensted Green

Now I'm certainly not very excited about doing work weekends, and the other day was the same. I had only just come away from home following a superb roast made for us by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a guy after he put the incorrect petrol in his expensive Lexus RX. He was only in Greensted Green so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I drove up behind the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on other considerations and did not ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about any kind of damage as a result of running it?" I stated there probably should not be any kind of problems and that also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and then yet another content customer could carry on with his trip without any fuss. He could not stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make earning a living on weekends in Essex just a little bit easier for me!

A customer living in Greensted Green contacted us after she managed to get her misfueled car to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel light green Suzuki Reno and, like many prior to her, imagined that she could basically fill up her vehicle with diesel and it'd be alright. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her office. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted in an hour or so while she was in the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely pleased you fixed my vehicle."

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.
