Wrong Fuel in Car Cowley, Oxfordshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Repair in Oxfordshire

If ever you have put the incorrect fuel in your automobile in Cowley we definitely are the company you will have to call. We cater to the whole of the Cowley vicinity and all adjacent areas.

It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were seated talking about the recent tennis results, waiting around for the next call to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Cowley and put petrol in a diesel white Ford C-MAX Hybrid rental by mistake. The poor thing was quite affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a short distance from the office, we could reach her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Oxfordshire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Cowley - Fuel Rescue Cowley

A lady driving in Cowley phoned us as soon as she had managed to get her misfueled automobile to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel green Volvo940 and, like plenty prior to her, thought that she could just fill the vehicle with diesel and it'd be fine. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she came to the the front of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved within an hour or so while she was working. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm really pleased 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.
