The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Surrey we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you get in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Burstow

I am not actually overly excited about doing the job weekends, and last week was the same. I had only just departed the family after a magnificent lunch cooked for me by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a fellow who had filled the wrong fuel in his metallic silver Peugeot 505. He was only in Burstow therefore I was there very quickly. Just as I drove up at the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on something else and didn't grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought on harm as a result of running it?" I revealed that there should not be any damage and that I'd remove the fuel immediately for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and so yet another content motorist was able to carry on with his journey without any subsequent difficulty. The guy did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what makes operating on Sundays in Surrey a tiny bit easier 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.
