The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!

Run out of fuel in Drivers End (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill the car. They can also take care of any of the usual issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we have noticed an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most definitely take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
