We are able to come to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the normal problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

He was located in Hurstbourne Tarrant so it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived at the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and didn't ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on any damage as a result of starting it?" I stated truth be told there should not be any damage and that also I'd get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and then another contented motorist could continue his trip without any subsequent bother.

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.
