The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!




On arrival of the mechanic at your car

First thing that our mobile technician will do when he reaches you is to check your car with the aim of verifying if it is actually the problem of incorrect fuel. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the car, and in that case, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of wrong fuel in a vehicle and if we figure out that yours is the same problem, we will fix it instantly since our technicians carry the necessary equipment and fresh fuel with them. You should choose us because of these three reasons. The first reason is that we've got the skills to empty out the wrong fuel and replace it with the right fuel. The second reason is that we ask for the same price for fresh fuel as that priced in a petrol station. And the third reason is that we accept all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have sufficient cash with you, we will allow payments through any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

This could be of interest to you.

You might be thinking how else we might help you.

Once our mobile mechanic has emptied out the wrong fuel, they have a full tank of contaminated fuel which needs to be disposed of. These days, such fuel should be dumped properly since pouring it out might contaminate the environment and the local water supply. We are fully equipped, and Environment Agency certified to securely dump contaminated fuel.

Disposing of the contaminated fuel is a totally different service that we provide to our private and commercial clients at some fee. All you need to do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it does not matter whether it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or container since we can get to it and get rid of it safely.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

There are other factors that cause engine problems besides filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar symptoms of lack of power, irregular running, a lot of smoke and stalling. Water is also likely to cause irreparable damage to fuel filters.

The same set of symptoms may also be caused by somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the vehicle.

Whether it is the issue of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using the same procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we usually use to solve the issue of wrong fuel in a car. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can help you to get back on the road. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

We will reach your vehicle soon. 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.

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.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about sunrise and noone was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful so far, and me and Ryan were loafing around looking at a couple of old newspapers. This was a rare peaceful hour. It was that tranquil that when my mobile eventually rang I jumped! The motorist on the opposite end said: "I've just finished my overnight shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a Great Buckland in error". We got him to let us know exactly where he was and we left, ending up under half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. While we were heading back to base we found two girls at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.
