The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Little Totham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations rather simply.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

A somewhat concerned driver phoned us from the Texaco filling station at Essex to tell us that he put petrol in his diesel matte black Skoda Fabia; he wasn't actually sure how he'd done it. We informed him it was not a worry and before long had our fuel drainer out to him to clean the wrong fuel from his vehicle. Having purged the wrong fuel, he was shortly back rolling again. He told us; "I am genuinely flabbergasted I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the gentleman who was sent to take care of the fuel drain was extremely excellent - he did not make me look like a fool."

We not too long ago had a call from a businessman who had put the wrong fuel in his mom's Lexus IS in Little Totham. He had conked out on the street. "I couldn't believe how rapid you people were in getting a fuel drainer out to help me when I foolishly unleaded in my diesel car. I'm very grateful". Needless to say we arrived promptly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. The client was over the moon by the time we were done and he drove away completely happy.

This was what is called the night shift. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had been pretty quiet thus far, and Paul and I were sitting reading through a couple of old articles. That was an uncommon restful hour in Essex. It was in fact that peaceful that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I leaped! The customer stated: "I have just completed my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the partner's Land Rover Defender 110". We told him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was and we left, reaching him in Little Totham only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the car and he thanked us for arriving so rapidly. As we were heading back home we noticed two women on the side of the road who looked like they had a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, 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.
