The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Westbrook (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They can also handle the normal troubles which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Surrey we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Any time you get in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GU7 Postcode - Westbrook Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Wednesday and I was off to help an elder woman after she had put petrol in her diesel mum's Nissan 350Z Roadster in Westbrook. She told us that she had left the filling station and stranded along a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd just bought it a couple of days ago right after my former one, which I'd had for over twenty years, finally died on me". I got the job done and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Surrey woman!

We care for your car through our comprehensive registration and insurance cover. Furthermore, our fuel drainers are thoroughly certified and knowledgeable in handling just about all vehicle models.

It only took the engineer approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean diesel in the car. The customer was completely satisfied and it hadn't cost him dealership rates to get the work professionally done.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Westbrook

I am not ever so keen on doing the job on weekends, and last week was the same. I had only just left home following a tasty dinner prepared for me by the better half, and I was on my way to help a man after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his elegant Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG. He was somewhere in Westbrook and so it wasn't long before I reached him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and got out he explained to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and failed to grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any kind of harm simply by running it?" I stated there shouldn't be damage and that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and so yet another pleased client could continue on his traveling without any subsequent hassle. The guy could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make operating on Sundays in Surrey a little less painful to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Westbrook - Fuel Rescue Westbrook

A gentleman who had sadly put the wrong fuel in his diesel compact Mazda B2600 contacted us for help at the Murco petrol filling station in Westbrook. He had decided to top up before going on to the local recreation park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded instead of diesel and it wasn't a smart start to our vacation." It was no trouble in the least for our technician to go out and do the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their vacation.

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.
