The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Wiltshire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not knowing the way to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel Assist West Knoyle - Wrong Fuel in Car West Knoyle

I enjoyed a great afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I was en route to aid a young couple on holiday in West Knoyle. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their customised Chrysler Voyager, and they were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this situation takes place constantly in Wiltshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me if I made the exact same error... I would never hear the end of it!

We performed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise outside a beautiful residential home in West Knoyle recently. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to virtually get home when my car stopped."

Wrong Fuel Doctor West Knoyle - Fuel Rescue West Knoyle

A customer from West Knoyle with her children in her diesel trusty Mercedes CLK-Class had put £45 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She called us weeping and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what might happen to her vehicle . We told her that the car should be ok and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

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.
