The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Halmonds Frome (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will deal with any of the normal troubles that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HR8 Postcode - Halmonds Frome Misfueling

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an older sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel father's Peugeot 104 in Halmonds Frome. She told us that she had left the filling station and broken down in a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I got to the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd only just acquired it a week back after my previous car, which I owned for over thirty years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Herefordshire woman!

We deal with your motor vehicle with our full registration and insurance. We can attend to any car or truck kinds regardless of if they have been driven on the wrong fuel or just misfueled.

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.
