The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If perhaps you find yourself in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SG4 Postcode - Little Almshoe Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and I was off to help an elder sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel classic Dodge Ram in Little Almshoe. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I reached the location and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she told me, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had only got it several days ago when my former one, which I used for in excess of twenty years, eventually broke down". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Hertfordshire 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.
