The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Essex we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If you find yourself in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was about 3am and nobody was about. It had become rather dead until now, and me and Brian were relaxing reading through a few old newspapers. It was an uncommon quiet time in Essex. Actually it was in fact so quiet that when the phone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The voice told me: "I only just finished my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in the stylish BMW 745 by mistake". I asked him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was and we headed out, ending up in Langford less than an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. While we were coming back home we saw two women at the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat. So we stopped and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
