The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Little Clacton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill your car. They will be able to handle the usual problems that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

A customer living in Little Clacton called us after she had managed to get her misfueled automobile to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel brother's Audi A4 and, like plenty prior to her, assumed that she could simply top up her vehicle with diesel and it'd be no problem. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed in an hour whilst she was working.

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.
