The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!




Once we arrive

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile technicians, he will first diagnose the situation before doing anything. If in the rare occasion he discovers that the problem is not a case of having the incorrect kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the vehicle and you will just be charged a minimal call out charge.

Signs of car irregularities mentioned above are an indication that your vehicle has been filled with wrong fuel. Since we carry the necessary equipment and fresh fuel, we can fix that problem straight away wherever you are. These three reasons should persuade you why we should serve you. First and foremost, our teams are experienced in managing your situation and can get you back on the road in no time. Another reason is that we charge the same price for fresh fuel as that charged in a gas station. And the third reason is that we allow all types of payment, hence if you don’t have ample cash with you, we will allow payments through any major credit or debit card.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

There are other reasons for engine troubles besides wrong fuel in a vehicle. Such symptoms as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

AdBlue if added incorrectly it can also exhibit similar signs in your car. 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 added manually, this should be done by someone who knows the proper place to put it.

If you are faced with these two problems then you shouldn't feel worried as we can handle both of these issues using the same procedure we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

Other Services

Are you aware that we give other services too?

You should also note that we dispose of contaminated fuel on behalf of our customers. Such contaminated fuels have to be disposed of by an expert and not by just anyone since they can degrade the surroundings and even pollute local water supplies.

Tales from our own Northbourne personnel:

Wrong Fuel in Car Northbourne - Petrol in Diesel Car Northbourne

We were contacted by a gentleman whose Northbourne had stopped on a road after a misfuel. "I confused the pumps and put the wrong fuel in my vehicle . These guys arrived and fixed the issue when my vehicle quit." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the engine thoroughly and the customer could proceed with his scheduled delivery.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Northbourne - Fuel Rescue Northbourne

It was about 6 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were sitting there talking about the tennis, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Northbourne lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job well done in my books!

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.

Commonplace Wrong Fuel Warning signs:

A woman driving nearby contacted us shortly after she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Northbourne and, like many people before her, thought that she could basically fill up the tank with diesel and it would be alright. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved inside an hour while she was at the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm very delighted you sorted my vehicle."
