We're able to get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will take care of the standard problems which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

We a few weeks ago received a call from a businessman who put the incorrect fuel in his partner's Mercedes E-Class in Donnington. He had ground to a halt on the street. "It was amazing how rapid you guys were in having a fuel drainer out to aid me after I filled my diesel car with petrol. Thank you ever so much". Of course we arrived rapidly and purged the engine after flushing all of the petrol from the diesel tank. The driver was smiling again by the time we finished and he went away completely happy.

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was about. It was pretty quiet thus far, and Mark and I were loafing looking at some old articles. That was an unusual peaceful time in Shropshire. Actually it was indeed so calm that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end said: "I have only just ended my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in my dad's Renault Laguna by mistake". We instructed him to let us know just where he was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Donnington not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back to base we found two girls at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, to their delight.

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.
