The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Essex we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

A somewhat concerned driver phoned us from the Shell petrol station at Essex to advise us that he had put petrol in his diesel brand new Bentley Continental; he wasn't actually certain how he'd managed to do it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Birch - Wrong Fuel in Car Birch

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt contented with myself the next working day as I set out to aid a new family who were vacationing in Birch. They broken down after filling petrol in their super Volvo240, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady berating her husband for actually being so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this goes on all the time in Essex and that it's actually nothing to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted so long and considered what my wife would say to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Birch

We completed a wrong fuel removal job on the drive of a spectacular residence in Birch a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to virtually reach home when my car broke down." Our technician went out, even though it was fairly late at night, and completed a full fuel drain and purge on the mustard yellow Kia Rio5 .

This was exactly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 2:30 in the morning and noone was about. It was fairly dead until now, and me and Brian were relaxing looking at a number of old magazines. That was an unusual calm hour in Essex. It was indeed so tranquil that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The customer said: "I've just concluded my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel white Mazda MX-5". I asked him to inform us where the vehicle was located and we left, reaching him in Birch not as much as an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the motor. He thanked us profusely for getting there so quickly. While we were returning home we found two young women at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. So we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
