The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!




When we reach your vehicle

Once the mechanic is at your location and has access to your car, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is caused by wrong fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the vehicle, and in that case, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

If it is really the issue of wrong fuel in a car, our technician will solve it instantly since he carries the tools for flushing out the wrong fuel and filling up the tank with the correct fuel. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the price of fresh fuel since we charge the same price as any petrol station. We are quite considerate when it’s time to make the payment, we understand this is an emergency situation for you so we don't insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Other Services

We also deliver other services besides fixing the issue of incorrect fuel

You must also note that we get rid of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. Such contaminated fuels have to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the surroundings and even pollute local water supplies. We are professional in this industry too as we are accredited by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this work, both legally and safely.

Getting rid of the contaminated fuel is also a service of its own which we provide to private and commercial customers. If you have a private company and in need of our service, we only need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other kinds of container. We will then do the rest of the work in accordance to the environmental law specified.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your car function badly. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the incorrect fuel can also be noticed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke appearing out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be affected. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to improve the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. Hence, it should only be used 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 issues then you shouldn't feel worried as we can solve both of these problems utilizing the same 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 a problem of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

Just wait for a moment and we will be there. If you were already growing impatient as you go through our services, you can rest be assured that we will be with you as soon as possible. Then, give our technician around 30 minutes to work on your engine problem. You'll be back on the road soon.

Wrong fuel in the car might also lead to additional problems which include flat batteries and air locks in the fuel system. Still, this should not worry you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

We understand how difficult it is to get over moments like this but we are happy you called us. Our help extended to you means much to us. Not just can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt cheerful the following working day as I set off to help a young couple who were holidaying. They conked out after inserting diesel in their Grange, and were close to an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the wife telling her partner off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this takes place frequently and that it's truly nothing at all to be concerned about, but he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the 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.
