Wrong Fuel in Car Leysdown-on-Sea - Petrol in Diesel Car Leysdown-on-Sea

It was close to seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated there discussing the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station and put petrol in a diesel Leysdown-on-Sea rental by mistake. She was very affected apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure position and, because it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction well done in my mind!

When we reach your location

Once the technician is with you and has access to your car, his first work is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to wrong fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in a vehicle. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the equipment on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with good clean fuel of the correct type. You should not worry that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the present pump price. And when it is time to pay, we can take all major credit and debit cards, as we understand you may not bring enough cash and have possibly stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

Other Services

We also give other services to our customers after handling the issue of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. The contaminated fuel should not be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by a professional in this industry because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the surroundings. You should let us do it for you since we are not just certified by the Environment Agency but also capable of doing it in the proper way, both legally and safely.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

There are other causes of engine problems apart from filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause very similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, a lot of smoke and stalling. Water is also likely to cause irreparable damage to fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to exhibit similar symptoms. 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 car rather than directly 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 not good for the engine.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, just like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters destroyed 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.

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.
