A man broken down on a road in Heathfield Village needed a fuel drain around a month back. His mint green Renault Clio was stuck roadside after he had filled up with the wrong fuel.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Heathfield Village (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the usual issues that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases rather expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

I had a wonderful day fishing on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new couple away in Heathfield Village. They had conked out after inserting petrol into their rugged Chrysler PT Cruiser, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation happens all the time in Oxfordshire and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved farewell and wondered what my missus would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

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.

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.
