The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Albury End (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill the car. They will be able to handle any of the most common problems which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel may well produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SG11 Postcode - Albury End Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Saturday and I was en route to help an older sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel work's Lexus LX in Albury End. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and got there within an hour. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only got it a short while back when my former car, which I owned for more than twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Hertfordshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Albury End

Now I'm not necessarily that interested in running on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd just left the family after a fantastic lunch prepared by the missus, and I was on the way to help a man after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his wife's VW. He was somewhere in Albury End thus it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to realise I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about some damage through starting it?" I explained generally there shouldn't be harm and also I would personally remove the fuel as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and then one more satisfied customer could continue on his traveling without any subsequent hassle. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what helps make working on weekends in Hertfordshire just that tiny bit less painful to me!

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.
