It was about 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting talking over the football rankings, ready for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Steeple Barton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mustard yellow Mercedes Sprinter 3500 rental car by mistake. She was quite irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to move the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Steeple Barton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also handle the normal issues that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
