The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Worcestershire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't start up the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

The driver of a black Ford Club Wagon was regretful that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the road and it spluttered and ground to a halt.

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.
