The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Shoreham-By-Sea (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to fix any of the typical issues that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And of course be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In case you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Whenever you end up in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BN43 Postcode - Shoreham-By-Sea Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Monday and I was on the way to assist an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel grey Ford Escort in Shoreham-By-Sea. I had been told she had left the petrol station and was stranded on a backwater lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a few days back when my previous one, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually broke down". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. What a pleasant West Sussex woman!

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.
