The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't start up the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SO16 Postcode - Lords Hill Misfueling

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was off to assist an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel metallic grey Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class in Lords Hill.

I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle.

I got the job done and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Hampshire lady!

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.
