The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Norfolk we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Should you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NR21 Postcode - Hindringham Misfueling

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Monday and I was en route to help an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel bright white VW Beetle in Hindringham. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel as I'd only just acquired it a few days ago when my old one, which I had had for about thirty years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Norfolk lady!

Therefore, in case you have topped up your petrol automobile with the wrong fuel, or petrol in your diesel motor vehicle anywhere in Norfolk, get in touch with us right away. Our expert mechanics are ready and waiting for you.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hindringham - Wrong Fuel in Car Hindringham

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon golfing on the weekend and felt contented the next morning as I headed out to help a young couple holidaying in Hindringham. They had stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their expensive Ford Fiesta, and were about an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smiled as I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this takes place frequently in Norfolk and that it's nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I shouted goodbye and wondered what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

A lady from Hindringham with a full car of children in her diesel dark green Lexus LFA had put £20 of petrol at the BP station. She phoned us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what might happen to her car . We reassured her that the vehicle would be ok and that she would be up and running in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
