The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Lakeside (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They will take care of the usual issues which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely never start up the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Any time you get in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly 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:

  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.
