The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northamptonshire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

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

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely do not crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hellidon

Now I'm not actually that excited about doing the job Sundays, and last week was no different. I had just departed home after eating a tasty lunch cooked for us by the wife, and I was off to sort out a man after he had put the incorrect fuel in his work's Audi A6. He was somewhere in Hellidon thus it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my thoughts on stuff and didn't perceive I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any kind of problems because of running it?" I stated generally there shouldn't be any damage and that also I'd drain the wrong fuel at once. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and then yet another happy client was able to continue on their journey without any hassle. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Northamptonshire just that tiny bit easier to me!

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.

Typical Wrong Fuel Symptoms:

Here's a list of very common wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Loss of engine power
  • Car dying, spluttering and / or hiccuping
