The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!




Once we reach your site

First thing our technician will do once he arrives at your location is to check out your car so as to verify if indeed it is the issue of wrong fuel, and if they find out that it is not, he will only charge you an updated amount of the quoted price.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of wrong fuel in a vehicle and if we discover that yours is the same problem, we will fix it right away since our mechanics bring the necessary tools and fresh fuel with them. These three reasons should convince you why we should serve you. First and foremost, our teams are knowledgeable in dealing with your situation and can get you back on the road in no time. The second reason is that we charge the same price for fresh fuel as that priced in a service station. And the third reason is that we accept all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have enough cash with you, we will allow payments through any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

Besides draining out the incorrect fuel in a car, we provide other services linked to that. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the proper and lawful way. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are qualified to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly contaminate the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not merely accredited by the Environment Agency but also have the ideal equipment for it.

Disposing of the contaminated fuel is a completely different service that we provide to our private and commercial customers at some fee. All you should 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 and securely.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle isn’t the only reason for engine problems. The presence of water in your fuel also makes your car to show similar symptoms, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. This is a serious issue that can totally cause harm to the fuel filters.

One more thing which can cause similar symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Using AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. Therefore, it should just be utilized by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

In these situations, we can give the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. It doesn't matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

You will soon get back on the road

Talking of getting you on your way, if our mobile mechanic has been beavering away whilst you have been knowing more about our services, he is likely to be close to finishing now. We usually take about 30 minutes to solve the issue and enable our clients to hit the road again.

In some instances, having the wrong fuel in the system may cause other issues with a car such as a flat battery or air locks. Still, this should not concern you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing commenting on the rugby results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lambs Cross lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. One more job done well in my opinion!

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.
