We will get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They can also deal with any of the typical issues which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Buckinghamshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely don't switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This really was what we call the graveyard shift. It was around 2:30am and almost noone was around. It was pretty uneventful so far, and Ray and I were loafing around looking at a number of old papers. It was an uncommon calm moment in Buckinghamshire. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the moment my mobile rang I jumped! The motorist stated: "I only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a diesel deep grey Subaru Legacy by mistake". I instructed him to tell us just where the car was located and we left, getting to him in Oakgrove no more than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. While we were heading back to the depot we saw two young ladies on the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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.
