Wrong Fuel in Car Clapham Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Clapham Hill

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon golfing on my holiday and was feeling delighted the following working day as I set off to assist a young couple vacationing. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Clapham Hill, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling off her husband for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this goes on all the time and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!

On arrival of the technician at your location

Once the technician is with you and has access to your vehicle, his first job is to confirm whether the problem of your car is due to incorrect fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the vehicle, and in that case, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the tools on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. You should not worry that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the present pump price. We are quite considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we do not insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Other Services

Are you aware?

You may be interested to know the other services we offer too.

Once our mobile technician has emptied out the wrong fuel, they have a full tank of contaminated fuel which must be disposed of. Nowadays, there is a serious problem that such fuel could severely damage the environment or even contaminate the water supply so you are not permitted to casually dump it anywhere. But we can handle it for you since we have the ideal equipment, and we are accredited by the Environment Agency to do so.

If you are a commercial or private client in need of safe disposal of contaminated fuel, then you can rest assured that you are also in the ideal place. 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 the contaminated fuels safely.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should also pay attention to the fact that wrong fuel is not the only problem which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but often the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

.Addition of AdBlue straight into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes same symptoms. This can be done so through adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

But you don't have to fret since we can fix both problems for you by applying similar procedure used in solving the issue of wrong fuel. We are always there to fix your vehicle and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

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.
