She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Offenham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the most common troubles that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I'm certainly not overly enthusiastic about carrying out work on Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids following a magnificent Sunday roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was off to assist a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his dirty red Cadillac Fleetwood. He was stationed in Offenham and so I arrived there almost immediately. As I drove up at the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I had my thoughts on other things and failed to ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on damage by driving it?" I said there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and thus yet another content client was able to carry on with his traveling without hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Worcestershire just a tiny bit easier in my opinion!

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had been rather dead so far, and me and Brian were relaxing reading through a couple of old papers. That was an unusual peaceful hour in Worcestershire. It was indeed so relaxing that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me start! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I only just concluded my night shift and foolishly put petrol in my teal Chevrolet Silverado in error". I asked him to tell us just where he was and we left, reaching him in Offenham no more than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor and he said thanks for showing up so fast. As we were returning home we saw two girls at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we got out and helped them 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.
