Upon our arrival

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile technicians, he will first diagnose the problem before doing anything. In the rare case that the problem isn’t incorrect fuel in your car, they will know this before doing any more work, and only a minimal call out fee will be made.

Our technician will be bringing the required equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he learns that it is actually the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will take away the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station.

Other Services

We also offer other services besides fixing the issue of incorrect fuel

After dealing with the issue of wrong fuel we also assist you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel.

We can then take away the contaminated liquids, and dispose of them securely to the relevant regulations.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should also pay attention to the fact that wrong fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal manner, but at times the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But you should also note that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

AdBlue is a solution which is used get rid of harmful gases from the engine's exhaust, and if it is put in the diesel tank then it can also cause similar problems. AdBlue contamination can also happen if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Hence, it should only be utilized by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

Still, there's no need to fret. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can absolutely help you. Through using the same procedure of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the issue of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road.

Wrong Fuel in Car Cranbrooke Common - Petrol in Diesel Car Cranbrooke Common

I had enjoyed a perfect evening cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next day as I was en route to assist a new family who were away. They had broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their Cranbrooke Common, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smiled as I heard to the lady berating her hubby for being so foolish. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this situation occurs on a regular basis and that it's truly absolutely nothing to worry about, however he yet still had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted good bye and thought about what my wife would say to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Cranbrooke Common - Fuel Rescue Cranbrooke Common

It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there discussing the tennis results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Cranbrooke Common rental in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to her quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another job well done 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.

A teenager who had just passed his driving test had misfueled his Cranbrooke Common by putting petrol in the diesel vehicle at the service station. He said, "This is only the third time I have fueled my vehicle since I bought it and I don't know how to handle it." He was also scared as his dad had only just purchased him the car. He found us on the web and so called it right away, scared about what he needed to do. Our guy on the phones told him that we would be with him within 45 minutes and to not do anything to his vehicle while he waited.
