The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!




When we get to your vehicle

First thing that our mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to check your car with the aim of confirming if it is actually the issue of incorrect fuel. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in a vehicle. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your car as usually is the case, our technicians have all the equipment on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with good clean fuel of the correct type. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the price of fresh fuel since we charge a similar price as any gasoline station. And when it's time to pay, we can accept all major debit and credit cards, as we know you may not bring enough cash and have possibly stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Other Services

Other than draining out the incorrect fuel in a vehicle, we offer other services related to that. For instance, we do assist our customers dispose of contaminated fuel. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not permitted to anyone unless you are accredited to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could degrade the environment and possibly pollute the local water supply. Not only we are authorized by the Environment Agency, we also have the appropriate tools for discarding contaminated fuel.

This is a unique service that we offer to business and private customers. All you have to do is grant us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or any other container, we will drain it. We can then take away the contaminated liquids, and dispose of them securely to the relevant regulations.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause same signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But you should also remember that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also exhibit such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue straight into the vehicle’s fuel tank. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the vehicle.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above problems since we can flush the system just like in the case of incorrect fuel. So, if your problem is incorrect fuel, water contaminated fuel, damaged fuel filters or AdBlue into the wrong tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus allowing you to continue with your journey.

Several of the typical facts we get from many of our engineers in Betteshanger:

Wrong Fuel in Car Betteshanger - Petrol in Diesel Car Betteshanger

This was certainly the night shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was about. It had been fairly quiet until now, and me and Ray were relaxing perusing some old newspapers. That was a rare calm moment. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the instant my mobile rang it made me start! The person on the phone said: "I only just finished my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel Betteshanger by mistake". We asked him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we set off, reaching him no more than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He said many thanks for arriving so promptly. As we were coming back home we spotted two young women at the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out to change it, to their delight.

It was close to ten pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were seated there talking over the weekend's football, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station and filled petrol in her diesel Betteshanger rental. She was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. A fuel drain done well in my books!

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.
