The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Great Oakley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the normal troubles that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Great Oakley

Now I'm not actually so hot for carrying out work on weekends, and the other day was no different. I had only just come away from the family filled with a tasty Sunday roast prepared by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a man after he filled the wrong petrol in his cream Vauxhall Signum. He was stationed in Great Oakley therefore it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and didn't grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created any harm simply by starting it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be any kind of problems and also that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then another pleased customer was able to carry on with their traveling without bother. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what can make carrying out work on weekends in Northamptonshire just a small bit better for me personally!

A customer who had unluckily put petrol in his diesel winter grey Cadillac CTS contacted us for help at the Shell petrol filling station in Great Oakley.

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.
