The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Thurleigh (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will deal with the standard problems which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
