Wrong Fuel in Car Hardmead, Buckinghamshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Repair in Buckinghamshire

In case you might have put the wrong fuel in your car or truck and so now want a fuel drain you are very likely trawling the net hoping for a quick, trustworthy, expert and reasonably priced fuel drain supplier in Hardmead or Buckinghamshire. Ok, we are the people to aid you!

It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Hardmead and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel cyan Kia Spectra lease car. She was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to get to the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. One more job in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to crank the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in MK16 Postcode - Hardmead Misfueling

A young lady had come to a halt on a street, Hardmead having just misfueled. She was weeping and really distressed as she had put £55 petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we made an effort to sooth her as best we could, encouraging her that everything would be okay. When we reached her she was no longer troubled and was very fascinated in watching our engineer carry out the fuel drain on her bright yellow Smart Forfour. Soon after she said: "My vehicle is like my child, I only recently bought it and so it truly horrified me that I had put a whole lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm so pleased that it was easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hardmead

Just picture conking out in a automobile filled with the improper fuel halfway down the road. One of our last customers who filled her car with the wrong fuel (apricot Cadillac Eldorado) in Hardmead ran into exactly that trouble: "WrongFuelSOS.com's technician got my car from the live lane. He fixed it and had it working again in just a half hour. Couldn't recommend you more."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hardmead - Fuel Rescue Hardmead

A customer employed in Hardmead called us shortly after she tried to get her misfueled car to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel brother's Mazda Navajo and, like many before her, thought that she would be able to basically top up her vehicle with diesel and it would be alright. The engine was chugging and then it died when she reached the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired within an hour or so while she was working. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm very pleased you fixed my car."

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.
