Wrong Fuel in Car Lower Heppington - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Heppington

Now I am not ever that hot for carrying out work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just left the family filled with a wonderful lunch cooked for us by the better half, and I was en route to assist a gentleman who had put the incorrect petrol in his Lower Heppington. He was somewhere nearby so I was on scene almost immediately. As I pulled up behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other things and did not grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted harm as a result of starting it?" I explained that generally there probably should not be any damage and that I would personally remove the contaminated fuel quickly. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and thus yet another content client was able to continue on their traveling without any subsequent difficulty. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this is what can make earning a living on weekends that little better for me personally!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lower Heppington - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Heppington

I'd had a perfect afternoon fishing during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I set out to help a young couple who were away. They'd stopped after inserting petrol into their Lower Heppington, and the car was around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling off her man for being so daft. "How could you possibly manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing goes on everyday and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyways, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

After arrival

Once our competent technician arrives at your vehicle he will check out your car to confirm if it is truly the case of incorrect fuel in the car. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will just charge you a nominal cost.

Our technician will be bringing the required equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he finds out that it is actually the issue of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will take away the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station. You also don't have to fret if you don't have sufficient money with you, we understand your situation and we will take any major debit or credit card.

Other Services

We also give other services aside from fixing the problem of wrong fuel

You should also remember that we get rid of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. The contaminated fuel shouldn't be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by an expert in this industry because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the surroundings. We are also professionals in this field and are certified by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both safely and legally.

Dumping contaminated fuel is a separate service we deliver to our clients, either commercial or private businesses. If you have a private business and in need of our service, we just need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other kinds of container. We will then do the rest of the job in accordance to the environmental law specified.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your vehicle behave badly. Symptoms mentioned above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be noticed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke appearing out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

Yet another thing which can cause similar signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your car behave abnormally. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

If you are faced with either of these two issues then you shouldn't feel worried because we can handle both of these problems using the same process we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. So, if your problem is wrong fuel, water contaminated fuel, damaged fuel filters or AdBlue into the incorrect tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus allowing you to continue with your journey.

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.
