The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!




Upon our arrival

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile mechanics, he will first diagnose the situation before doing anything. In the rare case that the problem isn’t incorrect fuel in your vehicle, they will recognize this before doing any more work, and just a nominal call out fee will be made.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the equipment on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with good clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just ask for the current pump prices. We also understand that you may not be taking enough cash with you hence you should know that we also accept any major credit card or debit card payments.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should know that wrong fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The existence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, like damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in case of wrong fuel.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to exhibit similar symptoms. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added straight 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 added manually, this should be done by somebody who knows the correct place to put it.

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 vehicle. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. As we deal with your fuel issue, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Wrong Fuel in Car Milstead - Petrol in Diesel Car Milstead

It can't be nice conking out in a automobile contaminated with the wrong fuel on the street. One of our last customers who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (Milstead) suffered from precisely this issue: "As you know I erroneously put unleaded in my diesel car like a perfect idiot. I was so bothered about it that I was in tears. Fortunately I needn't have worried simply because you were brilliant in sorting it out."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Milstead - Fuel Rescue Milstead

A woman employed nearby called us as soon as she managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had put petrol in her diesel Milstead and, like many people prior to her, believed that she would be able to just fill the tank with diesel and it'd run fine. The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she reached the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted within an hour or so while she was in the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely happy 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 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.
