The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In West Sussex we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And certainly take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
