The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!

We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Hampshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can drain it for you.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we have found an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

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

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never switch on the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
