The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bullocks Horn (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They can also handle the most common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may well result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations very simply.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SN16 Postcode - Bullocks Horn Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Saturday and we were off to assist an old woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel expensive BMW 545 in Bullocks Horn. She told us that she had left the filling station and broken down on a rural road on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only acquired it a couple of days ago when my old one, which I had for more than 30 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Wiltshire lady!

We are aware of the thing that is critical to you and for this reason are fully insured and authorised for our occupation. No matter whether you are running an old dinosaur or a cutting edge sports-car we can certainly help you.

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.
