The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not understanding 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 usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And of course never switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Frithend

Now I am not ever excessively hot for doing work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from the family after eating a superb roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was off to help a man who had filled the wrong fuel in his beautiful Lexus IS F. He was stationed in Frithend and so I was with him almost immediately. As I pulled up right behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank God! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and didn't grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought on some problems as a result of driving it?" I revealed there probably should not be harm and that also I would get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another pleased motorist could continue their traveling without the need for bother. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what can make carrying out work on weekends in Hampshire just a tiny bit less painful for me!

A customer from Frithend with her youngsters in her diesel metallic green Mercedes-Benz E-Class had put £20 of petrol at the Tesco petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be up and running soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the children on board."

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.
