The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And of course never start up the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Whenever you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical skills and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Dothill

Now I am not ever overly enthusiastic about doing work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just left home filled with a magnificent lunch made for us by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a guy who put the incorrect fuel in his deep grey Hyundai Sonata. He was only in Dothill and so it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up behind the car and got out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I had my thoughts on something else and didn't grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused any damage through starting it?" I explained that generally there probably should not be harm and also I would drain the contaminated fuel quickly for him. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the car and filled it with some suitable fuel, and then yet another satisfied customer could continue their ride without any subsequent bother. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what can make working on Sundays in Shropshire a little less painful for me!

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.
