The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Somerset we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

If you get in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Shapwick

Now I am not actually overly excited about working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the family following a tasty dinner cooked for me by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a guy who had put the incorrect petrol in his dirty red Smart Forfour. He was stationed in Shapwick and so I arrived with him almost immediately. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and failed to realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about damage simply by running it?" I determined that there probably should not be any kind of damage and also that I would get the fuel drained right away for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and so one more contented customer was able to continue his trip with no hassle. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes earning a living on Sundays in Somerset a little bit better for me!

A driver from Shapwick with a full car of youngsters in her diesel mint green Austin Mini Cooper had put £20 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She phoned us crying and genuinely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what might happen to her car . We told her that the car should be okay and that she would be ready to go quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the kids on board."

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.
