The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in case you’ve put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s composed of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Saturday and I was en route to help an old sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel partner's Suzuki Sidekick in Standeford. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a country lane en route to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I'd only got it several days back when my former car, which I had for more than 30 years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Staffordshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Standeford

Now I'm certainly not so keen on doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd only just come away from the family filled with a fantastic dinner made for us by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a man after he had put the incorrect petrol in his well worn BMW X3. He was somewhere in Standeford so I arrived with him almost immediately. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other things and did not realise I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I inflicted problems by simply starting it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and also that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained at once for him. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and yet another content motorist was able to continue on their ride without any subsequent difficulty. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that helps make carrying out work on weekends in Staffordshire that little better for me!

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.
