The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you may have put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue tends to be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been started the AdBlue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

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

Wrong Fuel in Car in SW13 Postcode - Barnes Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and we were en route to assist an elder woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel luxury Volkswagen Eurovan in Barnes. I'd been informed she drove away from the filling station and was stranded along a rural road en route to visit her godchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I turned up at the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had only just got it a couple of days ago after my previous one, which I'd used for in excess of 30 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious Richmond upon Thames woman!

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 VA 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.
