The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly never start up the car - not even to move it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

This was what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had become quite uneventful until now, and me and John were relaxing reading through a number of old newspapers. That was a rare restful time in Hampshire. It was in fact that tranquil that when my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The voice explained: "I've finished my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the diesel aunt's Peugeot Bipper". We told him to inform us where the car was located and we left, ending up in Alverstoke an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so rapidly.

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.
