The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Staffordshire we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to crank the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in ST5 Postcode - Northwood Misfueling

The owner of a old Volkswagen Eos was sorry that he had put petrol in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the street and it coughed and broke down. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel vehicle," is what he said to us the very first time he phoned. To be honest, when he initially called us he said he wanted to comparison shop, but he phoned us back before long because our rate and arrival times were the most appropriate. As you can imagine, our engineer had him back performing his deliveries well within the time we'd estimated.

Wrong Fuel Assist Northwood - Wrong Fuel in Car Northwood

I appreciated a terrific afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I was en route to assist a young couple who were away in Northwood. They had pulled over after inserting petrol in their elegant Subaru Impreza, and they were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed while I heard to the lady telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Staffordshire and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, even so he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted so long and considered what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the same blunder... I would personally never live it down!

A woman driving in Northwood phoned us shortly after she managed to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel bright white Mercedes Sprinter 2500 and, like countless prior to her, imagined that she would be able to just fill the car with diesel and it'd run fine. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she reached the the front of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved in one hour while she was in the office. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you fixed my car."

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.
