Once we reach your site

He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the fuel station. We are aware that you might not be having enough cash with you, but you don’t have to worry since we accept any common debit or credit card thus you can use them to pay.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will start to be shown by your engine. It will make it show the same symptoms as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to display similar signs. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should just be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who has no knowledge of AdBlue, the outcome would be bad for the engine.

Tales from our Kingsdown team:

Wrong Fuel in Car Kingsdown - Petrol in Diesel Car Kingsdown

A young lady with her children in her diesel Kingsdown had put £50 of petrol at the Tesco station. She contacted us weeping and really worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We told her that all should be ok and that she would be back on the road soon. When we got there she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children in the back."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Kingsdown - Fuel Rescue Kingsdown

I had a perfect evening cycling during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a new couple who were on vacation. They had conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Kingsdown, and were around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I listened to the gal berating her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this occurs continuously and that it's nothing at all to stress about, even so he yet still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I drained all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!

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.
