The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Friars Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to handle the standard problems that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances rather simply.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Friars Hill

I'm not necessarily very enthusiastic about carrying out work on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had only just come away from home filled with a wonderful Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a fellow who had put the wrong fuel in his light green Cadillac SRX. He was situated in Friars Hill thus I was with him rapidly. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and did not grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought on any problems simply by driving it?" I determined there probably should not be any problems and that I'd personally remove the fuel at once. Needless to say I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and so another happy customer had the ability to continue on their traveling with no difficulty. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays in East Sussex that little better for me!

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.
