Petrol in a diesel car or bike in Barkby Thorpe? Thank you for visiting Wrong Fuel SoS. Call us and enquire how we can certainly help to get you back on track again.

It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated commenting on the recent golf, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Barkby Thorpe and put petrol in a diesel father's BMW rental car. She was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from us, we could get to the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Leicestershire well done in my opinion!

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Barkby Thorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the typical troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations rather simply.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
