We can easily help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will take care of the most common troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Herefordshire we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

It truly was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2am and nobody was stirring. It was fairly quiet so far, and me and Mark were sitting about perusing a couple of old papers. It was a rare restful moment in Herefordshire. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I ended my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in the metallic red Chevrolet Caprice". I asked him to inform us where he was situated and we left, getting to him in Old Forge under an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the car and he thanked us for coming out so promptly. While we were coming back home we found two women at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.

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:

    • 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.
