The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

In the event that you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TA4 Postcode - Langley Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and we were off to help an older woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel baby blue Ford Fiesta in Langley. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a country road on route to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location in the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she said, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only acquired it a week ago when my other car, which I had for more than 30 years, inevitably died". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. Such a lovely Somerset lady!

It has become a common dilemma, and roadside recovery professionals have the experience and equipment to handle these types of incidents rapidly and successfully. Phone us TODAY for the most effective wrong fuel in vehicle recovery and repair solution.

We are completely licenced and covered with insurance and thus you understand the vehicle is in safe hands. We can attend to all car or truck types no matter whether they have been driven on contaminated fuel or not.

Wrong Fuel Assist Langley - Wrong Fuel in Car Langley

A customer had stopped just off a street in Langley. His bright yellow Volvo940 engine had stopped operating and he had no idea what was wrong until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that must have been why.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Langley

Now I'm not ever too hot for doing work Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just departed the family following a lovely dinner prepared for me by the wife, and I was on my way to help a man because he put the wrong petrol in his buff Land Rover Range Rover. He was somewhere in Langley therefore it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any kind of harm because of starting it?" I said that there should not be any problems and that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained at once. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and thus another satisfied customer could carry on with their journey with no hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what tends to make working on weekends in Somerset a little bit easier to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Langley - Fuel Rescue Langley

A driver from Langley with her little ones in her diesel beautiful BMW 650 had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She called us weeping and very upset as she had never wrong fueled previously and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that all would be alright and that she would be back ready to go very quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the kids on board."

General Wrong Fuel Warning signs:

Here is a list of usual wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Loss in vehicle power
  • Motor dying, spluttering or even hiccuping
  • Difficulty starting the car
  • Increased fumes

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.
