The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!




Upon our arrival

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile mechanics, he will first assess the situation before doing anything. And if he discovers 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 wrong fuel in a car.

Our technician will be bringing the required tools and fresh fuel with him so if he finds out that it is actually the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and refill the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the fuel station. You also don't have to fret if you don't have enough cash with you, we understand your situation and we will take any major debit or credit card.

Other Services

Besides draining out the incorrect fuel in a vehicle, we deliver other services linked to that. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the right and legal way. This is because your average mechanic is not authorized to do it nowadays because it can easily degrade the environment and even pollute the local water supply. Our certification from the Environment Agency makes us capable of disposing contaminated fuels the appropriate way and legally.

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

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Aside from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications 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.

.Addition of AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes same symptoms. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

Whether it is the issue of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can solve it using similar process of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we usually use to solve the issue of wrong fuel in a car. 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.

You will soon get back on the road

Don’t worry about waiting for long considering that our mobile technician will reach you as soon as possible whilst you go through our services and information, and he should be with you not long from now. In most cases it takes about 30 minutes to put things right and get our customers on their way.

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

We know how difficult it is to overcome moments like this but we are grateful you contacted us. Our help extended to you means much to us. Not only can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.

Wrong Fuel in Car Friningham - Petrol in Diesel Car Friningham

This was the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It was fairly uneventful up to now, and Brian and I were relaxing looking through several old papers. That was a rare tranquil moment. It was in fact so peaceful that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me start! The customer on the other end stated: "I have only just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in my Friningham by mistake". We told him to let us know exactly where the car was and we headed out, reaching him an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the engine. He thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. As we were heading back to the depot we noticed two young women at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their delight.

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.

A lady employed nearby called us after she managed to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had put unleaded in her diesel Friningham and, like many people prior to her, thought that she could basically fill her car with diesel and it'd be alright. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she got to the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired inside an hour whilst she was in the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely delighted you repaired my vehicle."
