The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Poles Hole (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will handle the usual issues which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Wiltshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not understanding how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Should you end up in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical know-how and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about dawn and almost noone was about. It had become rather quiet thus far, and me and Brian were loafing looking at a couple of old articles. This was a rare tranquil hour in Wiltshire. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me start! The person stated: "I've just ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in my diesel bright white Mercedes E-Class in error". We instructed him to let us know where exactly he was situated and we headed out, arriving in Poles Hole only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor.

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.
