The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Shenmore (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will handle any of the usual troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

A relatively alarmed customer called us from the Shell filling station at Herefordshire to inform us that he had put petrol in his diesel silver Volvo960; he wasn't actually certain how he'd managed to do it.

He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the chap who came out to perform the fuel drain was incredibly very good - he didn't make me appear silly."

A customer contacted us from his residence on a close in Shenmore. He exclaimed, "My car (a green Toyota Cressida) is not running and is creating awful noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel.

We carried out a wrong fuel removal exercise near a spectacular property in Shenmore recently. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to almost reach home when my car cut out."

A customer employed in Shenmore phoned us after she had managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic silver Saab 9-3 and, like many prior to her, imagined that she would be able to basically top up her vehicle with diesel and it'd be okay. The car was coughing and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed in an hour or so whilst she was at the office. She came outside soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm very happy you repaired my car."

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.
