The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Herefordshire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And certainly never start up the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Any time you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Walterstone - Wrong Fuel in Car Walterstone

I enjoyed a perfect evening cycling during the weekend and was feeling contented the following day as I set off to aid a young couple on vacation in Walterstone. They'd conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their precious Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and the car was around half an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I heard to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this situation comes to pass all the time in Herefordshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he yet still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
