The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Desford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also handle the most common problems which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases very quickly.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely 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.
