Wrong Fuel in Car Bossington - Petrol in Diesel Car Bossington

This was exactly the night shift. It was about dawn and noone was stirring. It was rather uneventful thus far, and Ryan and I were loafing around browsing a couple of old papers. This was an unusual restful hour. It was so relaxing that when my mobile rang I jumped with surprise! The customer explained: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in the Bossington". We instructed him to inform us where exactly the car was and we hit the road, reaching him under an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thank you for arriving so promptly. As we were going back to the depot we noticed two women at the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!




When we reach your location

The very first thing that our mobile technician will do when he reaches you is to inspect your vehicle with the aim of verifying if it is actually the issue of incorrect fuel. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in the car. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If it is actually the problem of wrong fuel in a car, our mechanic will solve it instantly since he carries the equipment for flushing out the wrong fuel and refilling the tank with the correct fuel. 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 is time to pay, we can accept all major debit and credit cards, as we know you may not carry enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

There are other causes of engine problems apart from filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause very similar symptoms of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. Water is also likely to cause irreparable damage to fuel filters.

A diesel-powered car may also exhibit such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue straight into the vehicle’s fuel tank. This can be done so through adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt 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 wrong fuel. We are always there to fix your vehicle and get you back on the road no matter if it is an issue of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Bossington - Fuel Rescue Bossington

It was around seven pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing there discussing the recent footy, waiting around for the seventh job to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Bossington rental by mistake. She was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. Another misfuel correction done well in my mind!

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.
