The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Suffolk we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Thorney Green

I am not actually that interested in carrying out work Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd just come away from the family after eating a superb Sunday roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow who had put the wrong fuel in his spotless Mitsubishi Excel. He was stationed in Thorney Green and so I arrived there quickly. As I arrived right behind the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my mind on other considerations and did not realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of harm by driving it?" I said that generally there probably should not be damage and also I would personally remove the contaminated fuel right away. As expected I got the fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and then another delighted client had the ability to continue on his ride without fuss. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Suffolk just a tiny bit easier 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 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.
