The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Langley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will deal with the most common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases rather swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

A guy had broken down just near a road in Langley. His modified Lexus LS engine had ceased operating and he'd no clue what was wrong until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle.

A motorist driving in Langley contacted us shortly after she had tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright yellow Honda Civic and, like many prior to her, imagined that she could just fill her tank with diesel and it'd be alright. The engine was chugging and then it stopped when she reached the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed within 60 minutes while she was in the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm really relieved you sorted my car."

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.
