The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it if you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that’s made from a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is definitely disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially if you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

A somewhat concerned driver called us from the Total petrol station at Somerset to inform us that he put petrol into his diesel baby blue Mitsubishi Eclipse; he wasn't exactly sure how he'd managed to do it. We said to him it was absolutely no worry and quickly had our man out to him to clean the contaminated fuel from his vehicle. Having extracted the bad fuel, he was subsequently back behind the wheel. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the gentleman who arrived to take care of the fuel drain was really excellent - he didn't make me appear like an idiot."

Wrong Fuel Assist Lawford - Wrong Fuel in Car Lawford

I'd had a terrific evening cycling on my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a new family who were on vacation in Lawford. They had pulled over after filling diesel in their burgundy red Peugeot 3008, and they were about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smiled as I heard to the girl telling her husband off for being so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this happens continuously in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to stress about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed farewell and pondered on what my wife would tell me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

All of our experts are competent on the most recent motor vehicles and their fuel systems. We participate in in excess of 6,000 contaminated fuel removals each year in the UK (you bet, there are that many customers who make the mistake - you aren't by yourself).

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Lawford

A youngster who had only passed his test had misfueled his customised Honda Prelude by getting unleaded in his diesel at the filling station near Lawford. He said, "This is the second occasion I have put fuel in my vehicle since I paid for it and I do not know how to handle it." He was anxious since his step father had just recently paid for the car. He came across us on the internet and so called us without delay, frightened about what he should do. Our guy on the telephones informed him that we could be with him in forty five minutes and to not start the car while he waited. We finished the drain on his car and he stated how amazed he was that it was dealt with so rapidly and no consequence whatsoever.

A man who had sadly put the wrong fuel in his diesel light green Subaru Outback Sport contacted us for assistance at the Shell petrol station in Lawford. He decided to top up before proceeding on to the nearby holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol instead of diesel which unfortunately wasn't a wonderful way to begin to our getaway." It was certainly no challenge by any means for our fuel drainer to go out and do the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.

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.
