We can easily get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to fix any of the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Leicestershire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Should you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised skills and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was about. It was quite uneventful thus far, and me and John were relaxing reading several old papers. That was an unusual tranquil hour in Leicestershire. Actually it was in fact that calm that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice said: "I just ended my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the diesel teal Volvo C70 in error". We told him to inform us where exactly he was located and we headed out, ending up in Scalford not as much as half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly.

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.
