The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Redbournbury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the typical issues which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite easily.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
