The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Somerset we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of people not understanding how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

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

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely never start the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

If you end up in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the practical competence and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

The owner of a trusty Nissan Maxima was regretful that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the street and it spluttered and broke down. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel vehicle," is what he said to us the first time he called. To be truthful, when he initially contacted us he said he wanted to shop around, but he called us back shortly because our pricing and call-out times were the best. Obviously, our fuel drainer had him performing his deliveries within the time period we'd estimated.

A person contacted us from his home on a close in Coleford. He said, "My vehicle (a mint condition BMW 650) is not starting up and is producing terrible noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.

All of our technical engineers are trained on the most recent automobiles and their fuel systems.

This was exactly an unsociable time to be up. It was about 3:30am and almost noone was stirring. It was pretty dead so far, and Ray and I were loafing around reading a number of old magazines. That was an unusual quiet hour in Somerset. Actually it was in fact so quiet that the instant the phone finally rang it made me jump! The voice explained: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the teal Kia Sportage". I told him to tell us exactly where the car was and we left, arriving in Coleford 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming so fast. While we were going back home we found two women on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat. Accordingly we got out to change it, much to their delight.

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.
