Wrong Fuel in Car Key Street - Petrol in Diesel Car Key Street

Now I'm certainly not overly keen on carrying out work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just departed the family filled with a magnificent roast made for us by the better half, and I was off to sort out a fellow because he filled the incorrect fuel in his Key Street. He was located nearby hence I arrived there quickly. As I pulled up at the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on other considerations and did not grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I created some harm because of driving it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be any kind of problems and that also I would personally drain the wrong fuel right away for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and thus yet another pleased client had the ability to continue their traveling without the need for hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what helps make earning a living on Sundays just a tiny bit easier in my opinion!


The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!




On arrival of the technician at your location

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

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your car as usually is the case, our technicians have all the equipment on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we simply charge the current pump prices. We also understand that you may not be carrying enough cash with you hence you should know that we also accept any major credit card or debit card payments.

Other Services

Are you aware that we also offer other services?

We also give other services to our customers after dealing with the issue 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 field because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the environment. We are expert in this field too as we are certified by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this job, both legally and safely.

This is a unique service that we provide to commercial and private clients. We have the ability to drain many types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are found. We subsequently cart away the contaminated liquids and safely dump them according to the laid down procedures and regulations.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your vehicle behave badly. It will make it exhibit similar signs as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

AdBlue is a solution which is utilized remove harmful gases from the engine's exhaust, and if it is put in the diesel tank then it can also cause the same issues. 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 be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

Whether it's the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can solve it using similar procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the issue of incorrect fuel in a car. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

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 anywhere in Kent to 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.
