The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Old Sodbury (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the standard problems which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations very quickly.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally 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.
