They will handle the usual issues that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases very simply.
Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.
Wrong Fuel in Car in BN43 Postcode - Old Shoreham Misfueling
Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Tuesday and I was en route to assist an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel wife's Cadillac Eldorado in Old Shoreham. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up in a backwater road on the way to visit her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I had only bought it a short while ago right after my previous car, which I used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually died". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. Such a precious West Sussex lady!

- 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.
