The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Greenwich we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And of course never start the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Saturday and I was en route to assist an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel cream VW Golf in Highams Park. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a country road on the way to visit her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I'd just got it a week back when my other one, which I'd owned for about twenty five years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a precious Greenwich lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Highams Park

We completed a wrong fuel removal exercise near a beautiful residence in Highams Park a few weeks ago. "I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to virtually reach home when my car broke down." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and performed a standard fuel drain and cleanse on the silver BMW Z4 M Roadster to everyone's satisfaction.

This was exactly what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and nobody was stirring. It was quite quiet until now, and Brian and I were relaxing reading through a few old magazines. That was an unusual restful hour in Greenwich. It was indeed that quiet that the instant the telephone inevitably rang I leaped! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I have completed my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in the diesel green Peugeot Expert". We told him to tell us exactly where he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Highams Park not as much as 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thanks a lot for coming so fast. While we were coming back home we spotted two young women at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their delight.

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.
