The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!




Once we arrive

Once our mobile mechanic arrives, he will check the situation before taking any action. 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.

If, as it is in most cases, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is fully equipped and experienced to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct kind of fuel. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the present pump price. We are very considerate when it’s time to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we don't insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Other Services

We also offer other services besides fixing the problem of incorrect fuel

You must also note that we dispose of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. Under no circumstance should you try to get rid of it yourself since you can easily affect the environment or pollute the nearest water supply. We are professional in this industry too as we are certified by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this job, both legally and safely.

Disposing of the contaminated fuel is a totally different service that we provide to our private and commercial customers 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 properly.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

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

One more thing which can cause similar signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your car behave abnormally. 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.

But you do not have to worry since we can fix both problems for you by using the same procedure used in solving the problem of wrong fuel. 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.

On Your Way

Talking of getting you on your way, if our mobile technician has been beavering away whilst you have been knowing more about our services, he is likely to be close to finishing now. For most situations, our standard time for getting our customers sorted and back on the road is just thirty minutes.

Sometimes wrong fuel in the car can also result in many more problems, like the presence of air in the fuel system or a flat battery. But our experts have all the abilities and equipment to put it all right and get you back on the road.

Therefore, if you were feeling any kind of stress due to the wrong fuel issue, now you can feel relieved like nothing had happened and be ready to resume your journey.

Wrong Fuel in Car Headcorn - Petrol in Diesel Car Headcorn

We've had a great many wrong fuel corrections on cars suffering from the incorrect fuel.

Your company had someone to me within half an hour and the car was back on the road once again quickly. Fuel Fixer Ltd had me back on the road once again within one hour. Really appreciated."

A fairly concerned driver called us from the Shell filling station to inform us that he put unleaded into his diesel Headcorn; he wasn't exactly sure how he'd managed to do it. We said to him it was no hassle and soon enough had our specialist with him to clear the contaminated fuel from his car. Having extracted the contaminated fuel, he was subsequently back behind the wheel. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the chap who came to do the fuel drain was incredibly very good - he didn't make me feel stupid."

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.

The owner of a Headcorn was sorry that he put petrol in his diesel car when he got onto the street and it spluttered and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel vehicle," is what he informed us the first time he called. To be honest, when he first phoned us he said he would like to check around, but he called us back before long because our rate and arrival times were the most desirable. Needless to say, our engineer had him performing his deliveries within the period we had cited.
