The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Blisworth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your automobile. They are also able to fix the typical troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations rather expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NN7 Postcode - Blisworth Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel precious Cadillac Brougham in Blisworth. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up on a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only just got it a week back right after my previous one, which I'd owned for about thirty years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. What a delightful Northamptonshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Blisworth - Wrong Fuel in Car Blisworth

I had a fantastic afternoon hiking on my off day and felt pleased with myself the following day as I was on the way to assist a new family on vacation in Blisworth. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their winter grey Hyundai, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her husband for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this problem happens all the time in Northamptonshire and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he all the same had an earful by his missus. Poor chap. At any rate, I drained all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and thought about what my wife would say to me if I made the exact same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Blisworth

I am certainly not that keen on doing the job on Sundays, and last week was the same. I had only just left the wife and kids after a wonderful lunch prepared for us by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a fellow after he put the incorrect fuel in his metallic yellow Volvo C70. He was situated in Blisworth and so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my attention on other things and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought on problems by starting it?" I stated there shouldn't be damage and also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and so another pleased motorist had the ability to continue his ride without bother. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that helps make working on weekends in Northamptonshire just that small bit better in my opinion!

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.
