The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northamptonshire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly never start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was on the way to assist an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel teal VW Tiguan in Horton. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded along a country lane on the way to visit her family. I plugged her location into the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she said to me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I'd only just purchased it a few days back after my other one, which I'd owned for more than twenty years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Northamptonshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Horton - Wrong Fuel in Car Horton

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I headed out to help a young family who were on holiday in Horton. They'd broken down after inserting diesel into their well worn Volvo S80, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl chastising her spouse for being so confused. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this takes place continuously in Northamptonshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I waved so long and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

A woman from Horton with a full car of children in her diesel old Dodge Ram had put £50 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She phoned us weeping and very worried as she had never wrong fueled before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that everything should be alright and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we got there she was still upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the youngsters 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.
