The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the automobile.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly do not turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Saturday and we were en route to help an old woman after she had put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Kia Optima in Galleywood. I had been informed she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a backwater lane en route to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only just purchased it a few days ago after my previous one, which I'd used for over twenty five years, finally died". I finished the job and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a delightful Essex woman!

I had a perfect day cycling during the weekend and felt satisfied the next day as I headed out to help a young couple on vacation in Galleywood. They pulled over after adding petrol in their dark red Toyota Sienna, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smirked while I heard to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this goes on continuously in Essex and that it's truly absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he all the same had an ear bashing. Poor guy. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never 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 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.
