The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly never start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

This was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been rather uneventful so far, and Paul and I were relaxing reading several old magazines. That was an uncommon tranquil moment in Somerset. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that when my mobile finally rang I jumped with surprise! The voice said: "I've only just completed my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in a diesel light green Austin Mini Cooper in error". I asked him to inform us where he was and we hit the road, arriving in Portbury 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the car. He said thanks a lot for coming out so quickly. While we were going back home we spotted two young women at the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

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.
