The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!




On arrival of the mechanic at your location

Once the technician is with you and has access to your vehicle, his first work is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle 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 situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

If the technician discovers that it is really the case of wrong fuel then he will start fixing it quickly as he already has the fresh fuel and the needed equipment to solve the problem. He will right away remove mixed fuel and then change it out with fresh fuel, and we won’t charge you extra on the fresh fuel. We are aware that you might not be having enough cash with you, but you don’t need to worry because we take any common credit or debit card thus you can make use of them to pay.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your car function badly. Symptoms cited above for an engine with the incorrect fuel can also be noticed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke appearing out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be changed.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to show similar signs. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be done by someone who knows the correct place to put it.

But don’t fret as regardless of whether it is a matter of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still in a position to help you. We can get you back to your journey after we do the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, replacing with fresh fuel. Other than that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can replace them on the spot. You don't need to call for another service provider to do that.

Other Services

Other than incorrect fuel in the car, we also deliver other services related to it. You should also be aware of them. To name one is disposing of the contaminated fuel the proper and legal way. This is because your average mechanic is not authorized to do it these days because it can quickly degrade the environment and even pollute the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not only authorized by the Environment Agency but also have the right tools for it.

Getting rid of the contaminated fuel is also a service of its own which we deliver to private and commercial customers. If you are a customer needing this service, all you have to do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or other container where it is kept, and be assured that we will empty them out and then eliminate the contaminated fuel in accordance with the security regulations in place.

Now it’s time to get you moving again, our mobile technician should almost be done by now if he’s been busy working on your vehicle while you were finding out who we are and what we do. For most situations, our standard time for getting our customers sorted and back on the road is just thirty minutes.

Wrong fuel in a vehicle might also lead to additional problems which include flat batteries and air locks in the fuel system. But you also don’t have to worry since we also have the equipment and expertise to use in sorting them out so as to let you continue with your journey.

It was just before five pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and I were seated there talking over the golf, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage and put petrol in a diesel East Farleigh hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction well done 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.
