The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Patton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to deal with the usual problems which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances very quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
