The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Croydon we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't start up the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. In case you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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.
