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

I appreciated a perfect evening golfing during my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the following day as I set out to aid a young family on holiday. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their Letts Green, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I listened to the woman telling her husband off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you possibly manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this takes place constantly and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor guy. Anyhow, I drained all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed so long and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!


The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!




On arrival of the technician at your location

The first thing that our mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to assess your vehicle with the aim of verifying if it is actually the problem of incorrect fuel. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in a vehicle. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Signs of car problems mentioned above are an indication that your car has been pumped with wrong fuel. Since we carry the necessary equipment and fresh fuel, we can fix that issue straight away wherever you are. There are three primary reasons why you should pick us. First of all, our teams are competent in managing your situation and can get you back on the road quickly. Another reason is our charges for the fuel replacement is the same as the present price in your closest petrol station. The last reason is the means of payment. We take other kinds of payment like debit or credit cards if in case you don't have cash with you.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

You should know that wrong fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your car produce lots of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

.Addition of AdBlue straight into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes similar symptoms. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the vehicle.

In both of the cases above, we can offer the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the wrong fuel in your 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.

Other Services

This could be of interest to you.

You may be curious to discover the other services we offer too.

At the end of the day, our technician will be taking a tank-full of contaminated fuel they have drained from several vehicles that will need to be disposed of. These days, there is a serious issue that such fuel could significantly damage the environment or even contaminate the water supply so you are not permitted to casually pour it anywhere. We are fully equipped, and Environment Agency authorized to safely get rid of contaminated fuel.

It is also a service that we provide separately to commercial and private customers at a fee. All you have to do is give us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or any other container, we will drain it. We subsequently cart away the polluted liquids and safely dump them according to the laid down procedures and laws.

We'll be there quickly. If you were already growing impatient as you go through our services, you can rest be assured that we will be with you as soon as possible. Then, provide our technician about half an hour to work on your engine problem. You'll be back on the road soon.

Often wrong fuel in the car can also result in more issues, like the presence of air in the fuel system or a flat battery. But our professionals have all the abilities and tools to put it all right and get you back on the road.

Therefore, if you had started feeling stressed because of the issue of wrong fuel, at least you are now relieved and ready to proceed with your journey as if nothing had happened.

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

This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had become fairly dead until now, and Brian and I were relaxing looking through several old papers. That was a rare tranquil hour. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The person told me: "I have only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in the diesel Letts Green in error". I told him to inform us just where the vehicle was and we hit the road, ending up less than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He said thanks for showing up so rapidly. As we were going back to base we spotted two women on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled up to change it, to their delight.

A customer driving nearby contacted us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled car to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel Letts Green and, like plenty prior to her, believed that she would be able to basically fill up the tank with diesel and it'd be no problem. The car was chugging and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed in an hour whilst she was at work. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm really glad you sorted my vehicle."

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.
