The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!




On arrival of the technician at your car

The very first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your place is to verify if the problem you reported via our customer service is correct or not - misfuelling. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the incorrect fuel in the vehicle, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

If it is really the issue of wrong fuel in a car, our technician will solve it quickly since he carries the tools for flushing out the wrong fuel and refilling the tank with the correct fuel. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge the same price as any fuel station. We are quite considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we don't insist on cash but allow all the major debit and credit cards.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

There are other reasons for engine problems besides wrong fuel in a car. The presence of water in your fuel also makes your car to show similar signs, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also exhibit such signs when someone puts AdBlue directly 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.

If you are faced with these two problems then you shouldn't feel worried as we can handle both of these problems using the same process we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. It doesn't matter if the issue is wrong fuel, broken fuel filters, water contaminated fuel or the incorrect usage of AdBlue, we can help fix your vehicle so as to allow you to hit the road again.

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.

I am not actually excessively enthusiastic about doing work on weekends, and last week was the same. I had just left the family after a tasty Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was off to sort out a guy after he had filled the wrong fuel in his Knockholt. He was located nearby thus I arrived on scene almost immediately. Just as I arrived right behind the car and got out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my concentration on something else and did not realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on any kind of damage simply by running it?" I revealed truth be told there probably should not be harm and that also I'd remove the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with the suitable fuel, and thus yet another delighted client had the ability to continue their traveling without difficulty. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this makes working on Sundays just a little bit less painful for me personally!
