The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In case you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the technical skills and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
