The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Fox Corner (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the common issues that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly expediently.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in LU7 Postcode - Fox Corner Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and I was off to assist an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint green Lexus LX in Fox Corner. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural lane along the way to see her family. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I had only just acquired it a week back when my previous one, which I had used for over twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job completed and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Bedfordshire woman!

I had a perfect day hiking on my day off and felt cheerful the next morning as I set off to help a new couple vacationing in Fox Corner. They had broken down after putting diesel in their luxury Nissan 350Z Roadster, and they were around an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on continuously in Bedfordshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got an earful. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same error... I'd personally never live it down!

We recently received a phone call about a businessman who put the incorrect fuel in his cobalt blue BMW 1 Series in Fox Corner. He had broken down on the street. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the predicament before we ground to a halt. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning once again. I was impressed with both your call-out time and your rates". It goes without saying that we were on-scene rapidly and purged the engine after draining all the unleaded from the diesel tank.

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.
