The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!




After arrival

Once our skilled technician arrives at your vehicle he will assess your car to verify if it is truly the case of incorrect fuel in the car. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will only charge you a minimal cost.

If our technician finds out that it is indeed the problem of incorrect fuel, he will start solving it quickly since he will have fresh fuel as well as the required equipment with him. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced the same as that charged in the fuel station. We also take all major debit and credit cards as we know your situation and hence there's no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

Other Services

We also provide other services apart from fixing the problem of incorrect fuel

After solving the issue of wrong fuel we also help you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel. The contaminated fuel shouldn't be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by a professional in this field because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the environment. We are also experts in this industry and are certified by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to use in getting rid of it, both safely and legally.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we deliver to commercial and private customers at a fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given locations, we can quickly get rid of contaminated fuels safely.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Putting the wrong fuel in your car isn’t the only reason for engine problems. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

One more thing which can cause same symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. Therefore, 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.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above problems since we can flush the system just like in the case of wrong fuel. So, if your issue is incorrect fuel, water contaminated fuel, broken fuel filters or AdBlue into the wrong tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus enabling you to carry on with your journey.

You will be back on the road soon

We always try to solve the issue within the shortest time possible so you don’t stay on the road for more than 30 minutes. So try going through our services as our mobile technician tries to deal with your issue. We assure you that you will be back on the road after a very short time.

If there are any issues related to putting wrong fuel in your vehicle, such as a flat battery or air locks in the fuel system, our properly trained mechanics have the equipment and abilities to put everything right and get you on your way.

So, today has been a bit of a headache, but hopefully, we have lessened the pain and stress, and got you back on the way immediately.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Elvington - Fuel Rescue Elvington

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Wednesday and I was off to assist an old sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Elvington. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down in a country road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she told me, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd just purchased it a short while ago when my old one, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty years, finally broke down". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a precious woman!

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.
