The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in New Headington (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will take care of the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel may well produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably 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.
