Wrong Fuel in Car Hook Green - Petrol in Diesel Car Hook Green

A motorist living nearby contacted us after she had tried to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hook Green and, like plenty prior to her, thought that she could basically fill up her car with diesel and it'd run okay. The vehicle was chugging and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed in an hour whilst she was at work. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really pleased you sorted my vehicle."

Wrong Fuel in Car Hook Green - Petrol in Diesel Car Hook Green

It was around 6 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the seventh call that day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station and put petrol in her diesel Hook Green lease car by mistake. The poor thing was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, because it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and less worried. Yet another fuel drain well done in my books!


The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!




On getting to your vehicle

Once our mobile mechanic arrives, he will evaluate the situation before taking any action. And if he finds out that it is not the problem of wrong 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.

The above signs are usually an indication of wrong fuel in a vehicle and if we find out that yours is the same problem, we will deal with it quickly since our mechanics carry the necessary equipment and fresh fuel with them. These three reasons should convince you why we should serve you. The first reason is that we've got the abilities to empty out the wrong fuel and change it out with the right fuel. The second reason is that we charge the similar price for fresh fuel as that charged in a service station. And the third reason is that we take all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have ample cash with you, we will allow payments via any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

Do you know that we provide other services too?

You should also note that we get rid of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. Such contaminated fuels need to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the environment and even pollute local water supplies. We are also professionals 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.

If you are a commercial or private client in need of safe disposal of contaminated fuel, then you can be assured that you are also in the ideal place. All you need to do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it doesn't 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.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

There are other causes of engine problems apart from filling your car with the wrong fuel. Such signs as lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. This is a serious issue that can totally cause harm to the fuel filters.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also show such signs when someone puts AdBlue straight into the vehicle’s fuel tank. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the vehicle.

But don’t worry as regardless of whether it is an issue of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still in a position to help you. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel. Aside from that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can change them out on the spot. You don't have to call for another service provider to do that.

You will be able to continue with your journey as quickly as possible

We won't let you be on the road for too long as we always try to complete our job within half an hour. As our mobile technician carries out the job, find out about our other services as you wait. We promise to get you on your way as soon as possible.

Wrong fuel in the tank may perhaps lead to other troubles such as air getting into the fuel system or even a flat battery. Still, this should not concern 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 overcome moments like this but we are pleased you contacted us. Our help extended to you means a lot to us. Not only can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.

  • Losing engine power

  • Issues starting the motor
  • Excessive smoke

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.
