The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!




Upon arrival

First thing our technician will do once he arrives at your vehicle is to assess your vehicle so as to confirm if indeed it is the problem of incorrect fuel, and if they find out that it is not, he will only ask you for an updated amount of the quoted price.

If it is really the issue of wrong fuel in a car, our technician will solve it instantly since he carries the tools for flushing out the wrong fuel and filling up the tank with the correct fuel. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the current pump price. And when it is time to pay, we can accept all major credit and debit cards, as we know you may not take enough cash and have possibly stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

Other Services

Other than wrong fuel in a vehicle, we also deliver other services associated with it. You should also know about them. For instance, we do help our clients dispose of contaminated fuel. Getting rid of this contaminated fuel is not permitted to anyone unless you are certified 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 only accredited by the Environment Agency but also have the best equipment for it.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we offer to commercial and private customers at a fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given locations, we can quickly get rid of the contaminated fuels safely.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

There are other causes of engine problems besides 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. This is a serious problem that can completely deteriorate the fuel filters.

Yet another thing which can cause same signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Utilizing AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle 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.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your car. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

Just wait for a moment and we will be there. But if a couple of minutes is still too long for you to wait, you may redirect your attention through checking other services that we deliver. For sure we'll arrive imminently. Also, know that it shouldn’t take us more than thirty minutes to solve the issue, so you can be certain to carry on with your journey soon.

Rest assured also that we also solve other problems resulting from wrong fuel, such as the presence of air in the fuel system or even a low battery, and that we have the skills and equipment to make it right.

So, if you were feeling any kind of stress due to the wrong fuel issue, now you can feel relieved like nothing had happened and be ready to resume your journey.

Reports from our Maypole technicians:

Wrong Fuel in Car Maypole - Petrol in Diesel Car Maypole

A driver with a full car of little ones in her diesel Maypole had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She called us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be on the road quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the little ones on board."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Maypole - Fuel Rescue Maypole

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Saturday and I was on my way to help an elder lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Maypole. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a rural lane on the way to see her family. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel since I had only just acquired it a couple of days ago right after my other one, which I'd used for in excess of 25 years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious woman!

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 and 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.
