Wrong Fuel in Car Platts Heath - Petrol in Diesel Car Platts Heath

I'm not actually very hot for running Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just come away from home after having a lovely Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was on my way to help a fellow after he filled the incorrect petrol in his Platts Heath. He was located nearby therefore I arrived with him soon. As I pulled up at the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on something else and didn't realise I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted some damage through driving it?" I determined there shouldn't be damage and that also I would personally get the fuel drained at once. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then another pleased client was able to continue their journey without any subsequent bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes carrying out work on Sundays just a tiny bit easier for me!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!




Once we reach your site

The first thing that our technician will do once he reaches your location is to inspect your car so as to confirm if indeed it is the issue of wrong fuel, and if they find out that it is not, he will only charge you an updated amount of the quoted price.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of wrong fuel in a vehicle and if we discover that yours is the same issue, we will fix it immediately since our technicians carry the necessary equipment and fresh fuel with them. There are three main reasons why you should select us. The first reason is that we have the skills to empty out the wrong fuel and change it out with the right fuel. Another reason is that we ask for the same price for fresh fuel as that charged in a service station. And the third reason is that we accept all types of payment, hence if you don’t have sufficient cash with you, we will accept payments via any major credit or debit card.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will quickly be shown by your engine. It will make it display similar 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 replaced.

AdBlue if added wrongly it can also display similar symptoms in your car. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should only 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 somebody who knows the proper place to put it.

But you do not have to worry since we can fix both issues for you by using similar procedure used in solving the problem of wrong fuel. So, if your problem is incorrect fuel, water contaminated fuel, broken fuel filters or AdBlue into the wrong tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus enabling you to carry on with your journey.

Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel because I had only acquired it a few days ago when my other one, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely 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.

  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.
