The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Brinsford (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will take care of the typical issues which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can certainly bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

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.
