The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding the way to use it (please note: it is actually 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.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

If perhaps you get in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in AL3 Postcode - Markyate Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Saturday and we were on my way to assist an older lady who put petrol in her diesel black Volvo C30 in Markyate. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and was stranded on a country road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I'd just bought it a short while ago because my other one, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Hertfordshire woman!

A woman from Markyate with a full car of children in her diesel faithful Toyota Highlander had put £45 of petrol at the Tesco petrol station. She phoned us weeping and genuinely worried as she had never wrong fueled previously and didn't know what might happen to her car . We reassured her that the car should be alright and that she would be in action in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the little ones on board."

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.

Normal Misfuel Warning signs:

Here's a list of standard wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

  • Loss in vehicle power
