The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Bexley we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CR6 Postcode - Chelsham Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to assist an elder woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel modified Seat Altea in Chelsham. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded along a rural road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged the location into the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I'd only just bought it several days ago because my old one, which I'd had for in excess of 30 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Bexley woman!

We furnish you with clean fuel at petrol station prices, and we can usually have your vehicle cleaned out and set to be run in under one hour. All waste fuel is disposed of by us by means of a licensed waste company and recycled.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Chelsham

We performed a wrong fuel retrieval job on the drive of a lovely property in Chelsham a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to almost get home when my car broke down." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and completed a full fuel drain and cleanse on the faithful BMW 745 to everyone's satisfaction.

A gentleman contacted us from his silver Renault Kangoo where he had broken down on the busy street. "I foolishly put unleaded in my diesel car and I soon realised it a few miles along the road!" Happily we were able to get out to him in a rather quick time, bearing in mind the congestion, and he was shortly back behind the wheel.

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 VA 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.
