The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people being unsure of how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the car.

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

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely don't start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical competence and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CB11 Postcode - Little Henham Misfueling

Just had a great night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and I was off to help an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel friend's Jeep Cherokee in Little Henham. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and pulled up in a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she explained, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd just acquired it a couple of days back when my other one, which I'd had for about thirty years, eventually died". I completed the job and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Essex woman!

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.
