The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!




On getting to your vehicle

Once our mobile mechanic arrives, he will evaluate the situation before taking any action. And if he finds out that it is not the problem of incorrect fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of incorrect fuel in a car.

Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge a similar price as any gasoline station. And when it is time to pay, we can take all major debit and credit cards, as we know you may not have enough cash and have possibly stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution used to boost the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. AdBlue contamination can also happen if it is used by someone who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should only be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

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 wrong fuel. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can help you to get back on the road. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

Wrong Fuel in Car Four Elms - Petrol in Diesel Car Four Elms

A young lady had come to a stop on a street, having just wrong fueled. She was in tears and very distressed as she had put £42 of petrol in her diesel car. When she contacted us we made an effort to sooth her as well as we could, encouraging her that it would be alright. When we got to her she was not distressed any more and was quite fascinated in observing our engineer perform the fuel drain on her Four Elms. Later on she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I only recently got it and thus it truly worried me that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm pleased that it was so very easily fixable."

I had a perfect day golfing during my day off and felt contented with myself the next day as I set off to help a young couple who were holidaying. They had conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their Four Elms, and were around half an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed as I heard to the girl chastising her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation goes on quite frequently and that it is nothing at all to fret about, however he all the same got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
