A young person who had only recently passed his driving test had misfueled his Hepworth by having unleaded in his diesel at the station. He said, "This is just the second time I have fueled my car since I bought it and I don't know what to do." He was anxious because his step father had only just got him the car. He came across us on the internet and so called it without delay, afraid about what he ought to do. Our individual on the telephones informed him that we could be on scene in 45 minutes and to not do anything to his car while he waited. We did the fuel drain on his car and he mentioned how astonished he was that it was addressed so quickly and without any problem .

We learn from experiences and mistakes so we shouldn't get too down so much once we encounter such situations since they make us more cautious and equip us with the appropriate mentality and abilities on how to manage such issues in future.

But there are means in which you can avoid being in similar situation again and they include not being in a hurry, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange car which you are not used to traveling in.

Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above symptoms.

Presence of water in fuel is another thing which can make your car behave in the way mentioned above. Hence you also have to consider it. It does not matter whether your car runs on diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to run roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also be aware of it.

AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work cleaner. It is commonly administered incorrectly, as such, it is essential that it is done by somebody who knows how to use it. If not, your vehicle will start running badly. To avoid any troubles, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. But it is very possible to experience wrong AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the process.

Just like when a car has incorrect fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to run smoothly and eventually lead to the car to stop. Good news is we are always ready to help. Our technicians are not just knowledgeable on how to solve this problem but also on how to solve the problem of incorrect fuel and water contamination.

We performed a wrong fuel removal exercise near a beautiful residential home not so long ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to almost get home when my car broke down." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was pretty late at night, and did a thorough fuel drain and purge on the Hepworth to everyone's satisfaction.

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.

Last monday a young man telephoned us when his Hepworth stopped on the road. He had by accident put petrol in the diesel car and drove as far as the street before having to stop. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, got to him in about fifteen minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 3 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
