The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Longthorpe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Cambridgeshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to fix the typical troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will 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.
