The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Staffordshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly don't crank the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Grindon - Wrong Fuel in Car Grindon

I had appreciated a great evening golfing during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I set off to help a young couple vacationing in Grindon. They'd conked out after adding diesel in their new-shape BMW 5 Series, and the car was around half an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling her husband off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place continuously in Staffordshire and that it's truly nothing to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unlucky chap. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and thought about what my wife would tell me if I made the very same error... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Grindon

I am not excessively enthusiastic about doing the job on weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after a magnificent lunch prepared by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow who had filled the incorrect petrol in his friend's BMW 8 Series. He was somewhere in Grindon therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on other stuff and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created any problems by simply running it?" I stated generally there probably should not be any kind of problems and that also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained immediately for him. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the correct fuel, and so one more happy client was able to continue his trip without any subsequent bother. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes working on Sundays in Staffordshire that tiny bit less painful in my opinion!

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.
