The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RG29 Postcode - South Warnborough Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel company's BMW Z3 in South Warnborough. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up in a backwater road on route to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she explained, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had just purchased it several days back right after my previous car, which I had owned for over twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a lovely Hampshire lady!

This really was the night shift. It was around 2 in the morning and almost noone was about. It was rather dead thus far, and me and Ray were sitting about perusing a few old magazines. It was a rare tranquil time in Hampshire. It was that tranquil that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me start! The person on the phone stated: "I have finished my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel maroon Suzuki Reno". I told him to tell us just where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, getting to him in South Warnborough 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the engine. He said many thanks for getting there so rapidly. While we were returning to the office we spotted two women at the side of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
