The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Warwickshire we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Any time you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
