The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Bamford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home.

They will take care of any of the typical problems that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in OL11 Postcode - Bamford Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were on the way to help an elder lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel yellow Kia Rio in Bamford. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural road along the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel seeing that I had just purchased it a short while ago after my former car, which I'd owned for about 30 years, finally died on me". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. Such a delightful Greater Manchester woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Greater Manchester - Petrol in Diesel Car Bamford

I'm not ever very hot for doing work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed home after eating a superb dinner made by the missus, and I was off to deal with a fellow after he had put the wrong petrol in his metallic yellow Toyota Camry. He was situated in Bamford and so I was there almost immediately. Just as I pulled up behind the car and got out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and didn't realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I inflicted any harm by starting it?" I revealed generally there shouldn't be any damage and also I would get the wrong fuel drained right away. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the correct fuel, and then one more delighted motorist had the ability to carry on with his traveling without any bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this makes operating on Sundays in Greater Manchester just that small bit less painful for me!

This really was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 2am and noone was stirring. It was pretty dead so far, and John and I were sitting around reading through several old newspapers. It was a rare tranquil hour in Greater Manchester. It was in fact so quiet that the instant my mobile inevitably rang I jumped! The customer stated: "I have finished my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel husband's Audi A4 in error". We told him to let us know exactly where he was situated and we left, arriving in Bamford under an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the car. He thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. As we were going back to base we found two girls at the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we stopped and helped them 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 VA 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.
