We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your automobile. They can also handle any of the common problems which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Shropshire we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Should you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lightwood

A teenager who had recently passed his driving test had misfueled his expensive Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG by having unleaded in his diesel vehicle at the filling station near Lightwood. He said, "This is just the third occasion I have put fuel in my car since I paid for it and I do not know what to do." He was worried because his father had only just paid for the car. He located us on the web and so called it immediately, afraid about what he should do. Our person on the telephones advised him that we could be with him inside forty five minutes and to not move the car while he waited. We finished the fuel drain on his car and he said how surprised he was that it was addressed so rapidly and no complication whatsoever.

This was exactly an unsociable time to be up. It was close to dawn and nobody was around. It was quite quiet up to now, and me and Paul were relaxing browsing several old newspapers. That was an uncommon quiet time in Shropshire. Actually it was that tranquil that when the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer stated: "I've just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in the sky blue Cadillac Escalade ESV in error". I asked him to let us know where he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Lightwood no more than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for arriving so fast. While we were heading back home we spotted two girls on the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Obviously we pulled over and helped them change it, much 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.

Ordinary Misfuel Warning signs:

  • Diminished vehicle power
  • Motor stalling, stuttering or even hiccuping
