The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Herefordshire we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

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

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you end up in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

A rather concerned motorist called us from the Total filling station at Herefordshire to tell us that he had put unleaded in his diesel spotless Mercedes Sprinter 3500; he wasn't totally sure how he'd managed to do it. We said to him it was no situation and quickly had our technician out to him to clear the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having taken out the incorrect fuel, he was soon enough back on the road. He told us; "I am genuinely surprised I put petrol in my diesel car. And the guy who was sent to carry out the fuel drain was genuinely nice - he did not make me look and feel an idiot."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Dorstone - Fuel Rescue Dorstone

A woman working in Dorstone called us as soon as she tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Vauxhall Astra and, like many people prior to her, thought that she would be able to simply fill up her car with diesel and it'd be no problem. The car was chugging and then it stopped when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved within an hour while she was in the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely delighted you repaired my car."

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.
