The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

All over North Yorkshire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

In the event that you get in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical competence and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and we were en route to help an elder woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic yellow Bugatti Veyron in Newholm. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station and broken down on a backwater lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she said, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd just got it a couple of days back when my old car, which I had owned for more than 30 years, finally stopped working". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious North Yorkshire lady!

This really was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 3:30am and almost noone was around. It had been fairly quiet up to now, and me and Ryan were loafing looking at several old newspapers. That was a rare tranquil hour in North Yorkshire. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that the instant the phone rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the phone told me: "I've just ended my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in a diesel new-shape BMW Z4 by mistake". We told him to let us know where exactly he was located and we left, getting to him in Newholm not as much as an hour or so later.

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.
