The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Old Basing (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill the car. They will handle any of the common problems which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will often cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RG24 Postcode - Old Basing Misfueling

A woman had come to a stop on a road, Old Basing just after having wrong fueled. She was weeping and very agitated as she had put £50 of petrol in her diesel car. As she called us we attempted to cool her as best we could, assuring her that all would be no problem. When we reached her she was no longer aggrieved and was quite curious in watching our technician carry out the fuel drain on her racing green Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class. Later she said: "My car is akin to my child, I only recently got it and thus it really freaked me out that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm glad that it was so very easily repairable."

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.
