Wrong Fuel in Car Harmans Corner - Petrol in Diesel Car Harmans Corner

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Sunday and I was off to assist an older sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel Harmans Corner. I had been told she drove away from the filling station and was broken down in a country lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I arrived at the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel since I had just acquired it a few days back right after my old car, which I had for in excess of twenty years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious woman!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!




Upon our arrival

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile mechanics, he will first diagnose the situation before doing anything. In the rare case that the problem isn’t wrong fuel in your vehicle, they will recognize this prior to doing any more work, and only a nominal call out fee will be made.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a car and if we discover that yours is the same issue, we will deal with it immediately since our technicians bring the required equipment and fresh fuel with them. There are three primary reasons why you should go for us. The first reason is that we have the skills to empty out the wrong fuel and change it out with the right fuel. Another reason is our prices for the fuel replacement is the same as the present price in your closest petrol station. The last reason is the means of payment. We allow other forms of payment like debit or credit cards if in case you don't have money with you.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should know that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The existence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car or truck produce lots of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But you must also note that water can cause other serious damages like damage to 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 knowledge 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.

Still, there's no need to panic. Whatever engine problem you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can surely help you. By using the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the problem of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road. Additionally, we can help you replace the fuel filters damaged by water contamination so you don’t need to worry about them.

Other Services

We also give other services aside from fixing the issue of incorrect fuel

We also provide other services to our customers after handling the matter of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. The contaminated fuel should not be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by an expert in this industry because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the environment. We are also experts in this field and are authorized by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

Disposing of the contaminated fuel is a different service that we deliver to our private and commercial clients at some fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given locations, we can easily get rid of contaminated fuels safely.

You will be back on the road soon

We won't let you be on the road for too long as we always make an effort to finish our job within half an hour. So try going through our services as our mobile technician tries to solve your issue. We assure you that you will be back on the road after a very short time.

Our highly trained technicians also have the tools and experience to help you solve other problems resulting from incorrect fuel, which include: flat battery and air locks in the fuel system, so you won’t be stranded on the road because of them.

So, today has been a bit of a headache, but hopefully, we have lessened the pain and stress, and got you back on the way as quickly 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.
