The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!




When we reach your location

The first thing that our mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to assess your car with the aim of confirming if it is actually the problem of wrong fuel. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the vehicle, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a vehicle and if we figure out that yours is the same problem, we will fix it right away since our technicians bring the necessary equipment and fresh fuel with them. There are three main reasons why you should pick us. First of all, our teams are experienced in managing your situation and can get you back on the road right away. Another reason is that we charge the similar price for fresh fuel as that priced in a petrol station. And the third reason is that we allow all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have sufficient cash with you, we will take payments via any major debit or credit card.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will start to be shown by your engine. It will make it show similar signs as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be affected. But with water contamination, it should be changed.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to boost the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above symptoms. AdBlue contamination can also happen if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

In these situations, we can give the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, just like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. Whatever caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. We can also replace those fuel filters damaged by water.

Other Services

We also give other services apart from fixing the issue of incorrect fuel

We also deliver other services to our customers after handling the issue of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Such contaminated fuels need to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the environment and even pollute local water supplies. You should allow us to do it for you since we are not only certified by the Environment Agency but also capable of doing it in the proper way, both legally and safely.

Disposing of the contaminated fuel is a totally different service that we provide to our private and commercial clients at some fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given areas, we can quickly get rid of contaminated fuels safely.

Getting You moving

Talking of getting you on your way, if our mobile mechanic has been beavering away whilst you have been knowing more about our services, he is likely to be close to finishing now. We usually take about thirty minutes to solve the issue and enable our clients to hit the road again.

If there are any other problems connected to putting wrong fuel in your vehicle, such as a flat battery or air locks in the fuel system, our fully trained mechanics have the tools and skills to put everything right and get you on your way.

We know that the day has been really stressful, but we do hope that we have helped you stay relieved and enabled you to carry on with the journey with ease.

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.

A customer with a full car of kids in her diesel Boughton Malherbe had put £42 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She phoned us crying and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that all should be fine and that she would be in action very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the kids on board."
