The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Hertfordshire we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't start up the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Old Town

I am not ever so inclined to carrying out work on weekends, and last week was the same. I had just departed the family following a tasty dinner made by the missus, and I was en route to assist a gentleman after he had filled the wrong petrol in his grey BMW 530. He was situated in Old Town hence I was on scene rapidly. Just as I arrived right behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on other things and failed to perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created any kind of harm by driving it?" I determined that there probably should not be any kind of harm and also that I'd get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and so yet another contented client had the ability to continue on their trip without any subsequent bother. The gentleman could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make working on weekends in Hertfordshire that little better for me personally!

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.
