The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!




Once we arrive

First thing the mobile technician will do when he gets to you is to verify the problem. And if he finds out that it is not the issue of wrong fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of wrong fuel in a car.

If it is really the problem of wrong fuel in a car, our mechanic will solve it quickly since he carries the equipment for flushing out the wrong fuel and filling up the tank with the correct fuel. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just charge the present pump prices. We also know that you may not be taking enough money with you hence you should know that we also take any major credit card or debit card payments.

Other Services

We also give other services apart from fixing the problem of incorrect fuel

We also provide other services to our customers after solving the problem of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Such contaminated fuels have to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the environment and even pollute local water supplies. We are also experts in this industry and are certified by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

We give this as a service in itself to both business and private customers. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks as well as a wide variety of other containers, as long as we can reach them. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and get rid of it safely and securely to the right regulations.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will quickly be shown by your engine. Symptoms mentioned above for an engine with the incorrect fuel can also be observed 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. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be affected. But with water contamination, it should be changed.

You can also observe the same signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added straight away to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who knows nothing of AdBlue, the result would be not good for the engine.

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it is an AdBlue problem or fuel contaminated with water. By using the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the issue of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road. Besides that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can replace them on the spot. You don't have to call for another provider to do that.

You will be back on the road soon

We won't let you stay on the road for too long as we always try to complete our job within half an hour. As our mobile technician does the job, find out about our other services as you wait. We promise to get you on your way as soon as possible.

Our experienced technicians also have the equipment and experience to help you solve other issues resulting from wrong fuel, which include: flat battery and air locks in the fuel system, so you won’t be stranded on the road because of them.

We know that the day has been quite stressful, but we do hope that we have helped you stay relieved and enabled you to carry on with the journey with ease.

The owner of a Lunsford was sorry that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the road and it spluttered and ceased. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel vehicle," is what he told us the first time he rang. To be honest, when he first phoned us he said he'd research prices, but he called us back shortly because our price and call-out times were the most desirable. Of course, our technician had him again carrying out his deliveries within the time period we'd quoted.

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.
