The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northumberland we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Recent Wrong Fuel Drains in and around Ellington

Several of the more routine stories we come across from many of our engineers in Ellington:

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Ellington

Now I'm not ever that hot for doing the job on weekends, and last week was no different. I'd just departed home filled with a lovely dinner made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to help a guy after he put the incorrect petrol in his raspberry red Jeep Commander. He was located in Ellington and so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my mind on other considerations and didn't ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of problems because of starting it?" I determined that there probably should not be any kind of problems and also that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. As expected I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then one more satisfied motorist had the ability to carry on with his journey with no fuss. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what can make working on weekends in Northumberland just a small bit less painful for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Ellington - Fuel Rescue Ellington

A motorist employed in Ellington phoned us shortly after she tried to get her misfueled automobile to work. She had put petrol in her diesel mint green VW Beetle and, like countless prior to her, believed that she would be able to just fill up the car with diesel and it'd run fine. The car was coughing and then it died when she arrived at the the front of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved in one hour whilst she was working. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm very glad you fixed my vehicle."

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.
