Wrong Fuel in Car Egerton - Petrol in Diesel Car Egerton

A lady had stopped on a road, just after having misfueled. She was crying and fairly agitated as she had put £40 petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we made an effort to relax her as best we could, assuring her that all would be fine. By the time we arrived with her she was not troubled any more and was pretty intrigued in watching our technician complete the fuel drain on her Egerton. Later she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I recently purchased it so it honestly concerned me that I had put such an abundance of wrong fuel in it. I'm pleased that it was so easily repairable."

On arrival of the technician at your car

Once the technician is with you and has access to your car, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to incorrect fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in a vehicle. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your car as usually is the case, our technicians have all the equipment on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with good clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just ask for the present pump prices. And when it is time to pay, we can accept all major credit and debit cards, as we understand you may not bring enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Other Services

Other than incorrect fuel in a vehicle, we also offer other services related to it. You should also be aware of them. To name one is disposing of the contaminated fuel the proper and lawful way. Getting rid of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are qualified to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly pollute the local water supply. Not only we are authorized by the Environment Agency, we also have the appropriate tools for discarding contaminated fuel.

Dumping contaminated fuel is a separate service we provide to our customers, either commercial or private companies. If you are a customer in need of this service, all you must 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 get rid of the contaminated fuel in accordance with the security regulations in place.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

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

A diesel-powered vehicle may also exhibit such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue directly 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.

In these situations, we can give the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the incorrect fuel. It doesn't matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. We can also replace those fuel filters damaged by water.

Getting You moving

Now it’s time to get you moving again, our mobile mechanic should almost be done by now if he’s been busy working on your vehicle while you were getting to know who we are and what we do. We usually take about thirty minutes to solve the issue and enable our customers to hit the road again.

In some situations, wrong fuel in a car can cause additional issues such as a flat battery and the presence of air in the fuel system. But our experienced technicians also have the tools and capabilities to put everything right and get you on your way.

Thank you for getting in touch with us. By doing so, we were hopefully able to deal with your issue of incorrect fuel and enabled you to get back on the road with all the stress gone.

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.
