The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely don't start up the car - not even to move it off of the pump. If you have started the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Pickering - Wrong Fuel in Car Pickering

I'd had a great evening fishing on my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Pickering. They stopped after putting petrol in their rust red Honda Accord, and they were around half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman telling off her partner for actually being so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place everyday in North Yorkshire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. Unlucky boy. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!

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 VA 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.
