The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!




On arrival of the mechanic at your car

Once the mechanic is at your location and has access to your vehicle, his first job is to confirm whether the problem of your car is due to wrong fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the car, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of wrong fuel in a car and if we discover that yours is the same problem, we will deal with it immediately since our mechanics bring the required equipment and fresh fuel with them. There are three main reasons why you should choose us. Our mobile technicians are equipped with the best skills and equipment in draining out the wrong fuel and changing it with fresh fuel. Another reason is that we charge the similar price for fresh fuel as that charged in a service station. And the third reason is that we take all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have enough cash with you, we will take payments through any major debit or credit card.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

You should know that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your vehicle produce lots of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to improve the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above symptoms. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. Hence, it should only be used by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank instead of being added directly to the fuel.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. Whatever caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

Other Services

Besides draining out the wrong fuel in a car, we provide other services related to that. To name one is disposing of the contaminated fuel the right and legal way. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are certified to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly pollute the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not just certified by the Environment Agency but also have the best devices for it.

Disposing of contaminated fuel is a separate service we offer to our clients, either commercial or private companies. If you are a client in need of this service, all you must do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or any other container where it is stored, and be assured that we will empty them out and then get rid of the contaminated fuel in accordance with the security regulations in place.

You will be back on the road soon

Don't worry about staying stuck on the road for long since we always try our best to accomplish the task within 30 minutes. So try having our services as our mobile technician tries to solve your issue. We try to guarantee you that you will be back on the road after a very short time.

Wrong fuel in a vehicle might also cause additional issues which include flat batteries and air locks in the fuel system. But you also don’t have to worry since we also have the equipment and abilities to utilize in sorting them out so as to enable you to continue with your journey.

We know that you went through a difficult moment today, but since you chose to contact us, we are able to restore your peace of mind by immediately getting you back to your journey.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Old Romney - Fuel Rescue Old Romney

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Saturday and we were on the way to help an older lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Old Romney. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was stranded in a rural lane on the way to visit her family. I popped the location in the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only got it several days ago when my other one, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant lady!

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.
