You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the present pump price. And when it's time to pay, we can take all major debit and credit cards, as we understand you may not bring enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

These days, such fuel should be disposed of properly since pouring it out might pollute the environment and the local water supply.

This includes low power, lots of smoke appearing out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to show similar signs. This additive which is utilized to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this process tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

If you are faced with these two issues then you shouldn't feel worried as we can handle both of these problems making use of the same procedure we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Basted - Petrol in Diesel Car Basted

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Saturday and I was en route to help an old lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Basted. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a country lane on route to see her godchildren. I punched the location in the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a couple of days ago right after my old one, which I had used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious woman!

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.
