The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations quite easily.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Lower Ratley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to handle the typical issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Ratley

I am certainly not so enthusiastic about doing the job weekends, and a week ago was the same. I had only just departed the family after a wonderful lunch made by the missus, and I was off to sort out a guy after he filled the wrong petrol in his bright red Volkswagen. He was stationed in Lower Ratley so I was with him rapidly. Just as I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other things and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about any harm as a result of starting it?" I stated that generally there should not be harm and also that I would personally remove the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and thus one more contented motorist could continue his ride without the fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and this is what makes carrying out work on weekends in Hampshire that tiny bit less painful to me!

The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and got it resolved inside one hour while she was at work. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you fixed my vehicle."

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.
