The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Frith Common (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the most common issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases very quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

This was certainly the night shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and almost noone was about. It had become rather dead until now, and Brian and I were loafing reading some old magazines. It was an uncommon quiet time in Worcestershire. It was in fact that quiet that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The customer on the phone explained: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel canary yellow Austin Mini Cooper S in error". We told him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we set off, getting to him in Frith Common under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was removed from the vehicle. He thanked us for coming so fast. While we were heading back home we noticed two ladies at the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. As a result we got out to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
