The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Loughborough (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the normal troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Leicestershire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in LE11 Postcode - Loughborough Misfueling

A fairly alarmed driver phoned us from the BP petrol station at Leicestershire to advise us that he had put unleaded into his diesel old Fiat 500; he wasn't quite certain how he'd managed to do it.

Having purged the contaminated fuel, he was almost immediately back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the man who came to do the fuel drain was very pleasant - he didn't make me look like a fool."

We are properly compliant and insured and so you are aware the vehicle is in safe hands. We have the ability to deal with virtually all vehicle types without regard for if they have been started on the incorrect fuel or just misfueled.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Loughborough

Now I'm not actually that enthusiastic about carrying out work Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd just departed the family following a wonderful roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman after he put the incorrect petrol in his new-shape VW Scirocco. He was located in Loughborough thus I was on scene almost immediately. Just as I pulled up behind the car and started work he said to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my thoughts on something else and didn't grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about damage simply by starting it?" I determined there probably should not be harm and that I would personally remove the fuel at once. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and so one more content client was able to carry on with their journey without difficulty. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Leicestershire that little better for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Loughborough - Fuel Rescue Loughborough

A woman driving in Loughborough called us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel faithful Mitsubishi Chariot and, like many prior to her, assumed that she could simply fill the car with diesel and it'd run fine. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted in an hour whilst she was in the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you fixed my car."

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.
