The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in West Hagbourne (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car. They can also handle the normal problems that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

The owner of a mustard yellow Vauxhall Bedford was regretful that he had put petrol in his diesel car when he got as far as the street and it spluttered and ceased.

To tell the truth, when he initially contacted us he said he wanted to shop around, but he called us back soon enough because our pricing and arrival times were the most appropriate. Obviously, our fuel drainer had him once again performing his deliveries well within the period we'd cited.

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.
