The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Surrey we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in KT16 Postcode - Longcross Misfueling

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Sunday and I was on the way to assist an old lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel apple green Audi S4 in Longcross. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded along a backwater road en route to see her family. I popped the location in the Satnav and was with her within an hour. I turned up at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd only got it a couple of days back after my other one, which I'd used for in excess of twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a delightful Surrey woman!

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.
