The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Shutford (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill the car. They can also deal with the most common troubles which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly do not start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you have started the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I wouldn't like conking out in a car contaminated with the improper fuel halfway down the road. One of our last customers who filled her car with the wrong fuel (baby blue VW Golf III) in Shutford endured literally this dilemma: "Your engineer moved my motor from the live lane. He removed the wrong fuel from it and had it functioning once more in just around 30 minutes. Highly recommended."

This was exactly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 2am and hardly anyone was stirring. It was quite uneventful so far, and Ryan and I were sitting around browsing several old articles. That was a rare tranquil moment in Oxfordshire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the moment the phone finally rang I jumped! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I just ended my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in the diesel red Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class in error". We got him to let us know exactly where the vehicle was located and we set off, reaching him in Shutford only half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. While we were going back to the depot we spotted two girls on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
