The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!




Once we reach your site

Once our experienced technician arrives at your vehicle he will check your car to verify if it is really the case of wrong fuel in the vehicle. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will just charge you a minimal cost.

Our technician will be bringing the required tools and fresh fuel with him so if he finds out that it is actually the issue of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will quickly remove mixed fuel and then change it with fresh fuel, and we won’t charge you extra on the fresh fuel. We are aware that you might not be carrying enough cash with you, but you don’t need to worry because we take any common credit or debit card thus you can use them to pay.

Other Services

We also give other services aside from fixing the issue of incorrect fuel

You must also note that we get rid of contaminated fuel on behalf of our customers. Such contaminated fuels need to be disposed of by an expert and not by just anyone since they can degrade the environment and even pollute local water supplies. We are professional in this field too as we are certified by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this job, both legally and safely.

Getting rid of the contaminated fuel is a totally different service that we offer to our private and commercial clients at some fee. As long as we have use of its fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or containers, we can properly dispose of the contaminated liquids at the designed areas.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your car behave badly. It will make it display the same symptoms as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. In cases of wrong fuel, the fuel filter won't be affected. But with water contamination, it should be changed.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to boost the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. AdBlue contamination can also happen if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. 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 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. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

We will arrive at your location soon. If you were already growing impatient as you go through our services, you can rest be assured that we will be with you as soon as possible. Once the technician has started his work, he'll simply need about 30 minutes to get the work done and get you back on the road.

Sometimes wrong fuel in a vehicle can also result in many more issues, like the presence of air in the fuel system or a flat battery. But our experts have all the skills and tools to put it all right and get you back on the road.

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

Wrong Fuel in Car Palmstead - Petrol in Diesel Car Palmstead

This was certainly the night shift. It was roughly 2am and hardly anyone was stirring. It was quite uneventful thus far, and Ryan and I were relaxing reading through a couple of old magazines. This was an uncommon peaceful hour. It was so peaceful that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The customer on the other end told me: "I finished my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel Palmstead by mistake". I instructed him to inform us where the car was located and we hit the road, ending up not as much as an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming out so promptly. As we were heading back home we spotted two ladies on the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
