It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were sitting there discussing the recent golf results, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Lower Shuckburgh and put petrol in a diesel matte black VW lease car in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Warwickshire well done in my mind!

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Lower Shuckburgh (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lower Shuckburgh - Wrong Fuel in Car Lower Shuckburgh

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon golfing during my off day and felt contented with myself the following morning as I set out to help a young couple who were on vacation in Lower Shuckburgh. They broken down after putting diesel into their grey Lexus IS, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the girl berating her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this problem happens all the time in Warwickshire and that it's really nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I waved goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the exact same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
