The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Stapleford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to deal with the normal troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SP3 Postcode - Stapleford Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Monday and we were en route to assist an old woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel well worn Hyundai Scoupe in Stapleford. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up along a backwater lane on route to see her godchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I got to the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was working she told me, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only acquired it a short while ago after my other one, which I owned for more than twenty years, finally stopped working". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. Such a pleasant Wiltshire woman!

Therefore, in the event that you've topped up your petrol car with the wrong fuel, or petrol in your diesel car anywhere in Wiltshire, speak to us immediately. Our qualified mechanics are completely ready for you.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stapleford - Wrong Fuel in Car Stapleford

I had a fantastic day golfing during my off day and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I headed out to assist a new family away in Stapleford. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their friend's Volvo S40, and the car was approximately an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this happens continuously in Wiltshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved good bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the same blunder... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

A young lady from Stapleford with a full car of little ones in her diesel mom's Kia Optima had put £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us sobbing and very distraught as she had never wrong fueled and didn't know what might happen to her car . We told her that all should be fine and that she would be back on the road quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.

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.
