The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All around Norfolk we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you did start the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Red Pits

We fairly recently got a phone call about a motorist who put the wrong fuel in his metallic yellow Mazda B2000 in Red Pits. He had conked out on the street. "I was surprised at how rapid you guys were in getting a technician out to aid me after I filled my diesel car with petrol. I'm very grateful". Of course we were on-scene promptly and flushed the engine after draining all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. The customer was over the moon by the time we finished and he drove away satisfied and content.

This was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly dawn and noone was stirring. It had been pretty uneventful until now, and Ray and I were relaxing looking at a few old articles. That was a rare peaceful time in Norfolk. Actually it was indeed that calm that the instant the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end told me: "I just finished my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in the mum's Hyundai Equus in error". I got him to let us know exactly where the car was situated and we set off, arriving in Red Pits only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the engine. He thanked us for getting there so fast. As we were going back home we noticed two young women on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
