The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!

We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Essex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Essex we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It was pretty dead so far, and me and Ray were loafing about reading a number of old articles. This was an unusual calm moment in Essex. It was that tranquil that the moment the telephone eventually rang I leaped! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I just ended my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my brother's Mitsubishi Excel in error". I told him to let us know where exactly he was and we headed out, ending up in Langenhoe only an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the vehicle. He said thanks for showing up so rapidly. While we were going back to the depot we saw two young ladies on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. So we got out 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.
