The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hackney we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

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

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't start up the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in E8 Postcode - Dalston Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Tuesday and we were en route to assist an elder lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel cyan Volvo XC90 in Dalston. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded on a rural road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she said to me, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel since I'd just got it several days ago when my old one, which I used for about 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Hackney woman!

I enjoyed a great afternoon golfing during my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I was on the way to assist a new couple on vacation in Dalston. They conked out after putting diesel in their burgundy red Mitsubishi Eclipse, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this problem takes place on daily basis in Hackney and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he all the same had an ear bashing by his wife. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I made the exact same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!

    • 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.
