We are able to help to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Shropshire we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly don't start the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Copthorne

We completed a wrong fuel removal job on the drive of a spectacular house in Copthorne a few weeks ago. "I put petrol in my diesel car and managed to more or less arrive at home when my car cut out." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was quite late at night, and carried out a thorough fuel drain and purge on the buff Chevrolet Caprice to everyone's satisfaction.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Copthorne - Fuel Rescue Copthorne

This really was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly 3am and noone was about. It had been pretty uneventful up to now, and Mark and I were loafing around reading through several old articles. It was a rare restful moment in Shropshire. Actually it was so calm that the instant the phone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist said: "I have only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel wife's Range Rover". We instructed him to inform us where exactly the car was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Copthorne no more than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the engine. He said thanks a lot for getting there so quickly. As we were going back to base we spotted two ladies on the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.
