The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Lower Padworth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also take care of any of the standard issues which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RG7 Postcode - Lower Padworth Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and we were en route to help an elder woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel creamy white Honda Prelude in Lower Padworth. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a rural road en route to see her family. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was working she said to me, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel because I'd just got it several days back right after my former one, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. What a pleasant Berkshire lady!

This really was an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had been pretty uneventful thus far, and Paul and I were sitting reading several old magazines. That was an unusual restful hour in Berkshire. It was in fact so calm that the moment the phone inevitably rang it made me jump! The person said: "I have concluded my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the maroon Mercedes Sprinter 3500 in error". We asked him to inform us just where he was and we set off, reaching him in Lower Padworth under half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the car and he said many thanks for coming so fast. As we were going back to the office we spotted two young women at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
