The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Shropshire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely don't start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

In case you get in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the technical skills and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

I'd had a fantastic evening hiking on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a young family holidaying in Smethcott. They had broken down after filling petrol into their modern Hyundai Accent, and they were roughly half an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked as I heard to the lady chastising her man for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Shropshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and considered what my missus would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Smethcott

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise near a lovely house in Smethcott not so long ago. "I put petrol in my diesel car and managed to nearly arrive at home when my car broke down." Our specialist went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and did a full fuel drain and cleanse on the yellow Volvo V70 .

It truly was what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was around 3am and almost noone was about. It was quite dead until now, and Brian and I were relaxing perusing a couple of old papers. This was an unusual calm moment in Shropshire. It was indeed that quiet that when my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist told me: "I have only just concluded my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel creamy white BMW 8 Series by mistake". I told him to let us know exactly where the car was and we hit the road, arriving in Smethcott only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the car and he said thanks a lot for coming out so promptly. While we were coming back home we found two girls on the side of the road who seemed like they had a flat. So we stopped and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
