Wrong Fuel in Car Gadshill - Petrol in Diesel Car Gadshill

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Wednesday and I was on my way to help an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Gadshill. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing it she said to me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel since I had just purchased it a few days ago after my former one, which I used for over 25 years, eventually broke down". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious lady!


The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!




On getting to your vehicle

Once our mobile mechanic arrives, he will evaluate the situation before taking any action. If in the rare occasion he finds that the problem is not a case of having the wrong kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the vehicle and you will only be charged a minimal call out charge.

If our technician discovers that it is indeed the problem of wrong fuel, he will start solving it quickly since he will have fresh fuel as well as the needed tools with him. 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 money with you, but you don’t have to worry because we accept any common credit or debit card thus you can use them to pay.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle isn’t the only cause of engine problems. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. Water is also likely to cause irreparable damage to fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution used to improve the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Hence, it should just be utilized by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

If you are faced with these two problems then you shouldn't feel worried because we can solve both of these problems making use of similar procedure we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is an issue of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

Dumping the contaminated fuel is also a service of its own which we deliver to private and commercial clients. If you have a private firm and in need of our service, we just need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other types of container. We will then do the rest of the work in accordance to the environmental law specified.
