The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Elcombe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with the usual problems that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases fairly simply.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL11 Postcode - Elcombe Misfueling

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Sunday and we were on my way to help an elder woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel company's BMW Z4 in Elcombe. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a country road on the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it several days ago right after my previous car, which I had for in excess of thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a lovely Gloucestershire lady!

A young adult who had only just passed his driving test had misfueled his trusty Mercedes SL-Class by putting petrol in the diesel at the service station near Elcombe. He said, "This is only the second occasion I have filled up my vehicle since I paid for it and I have no idea of how to handle it." He was also anxious as his step father had just recently paid for the car. He discovered us on the net and so called it right away, worried about what he needed to do.

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and almost noone was about. It was pretty dead until now, and Paul and I were sitting around looking through several old newspapers. It was a rare calm moment in Gloucestershire. Actually it was so relaxing that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I've ended my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel partner's Hyundai Tiburon". We instructed him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was and we headed out, getting to him in Elcombe less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was extracted from the motor and he thanked us for showing up so fast. As we were coming back to base we saw two women at the edge of the road who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we stopped 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.
