Wrong Fuel in Car Pullington - Petrol in Diesel Car Pullington

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Monday and we were on my way to assist an old woman who put petrol in her diesel Pullington. I had been told she had left the filling station and was pulled up along a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel as I'd just purchased it a few days ago right after my old car, which I had used for about 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful lady!


The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!




Upon our arrival

First thing the mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to assess the problem. And if he finds out that it is not the issue of incorrect fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of incorrect fuel in a car.

If our technician learns that it is indeed the issue of incorrect fuel, he will start solving it instantly since he will have fresh fuel as well as the required tools with him. He will instantly remove mixed fuel and then replace it with fresh fuel, and we won’t ask you for extra on the fresh fuel. You also do not have to worry if you don't have sufficient money with you, we know your situation and we will take any major credit or debit card.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Putting the wrong fuel in your car isn’t the only cause of engine problems. The presence of water in your fuel also makes your vehicle to show similar symptoms, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to 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. Therefore, it should only be used by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than 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. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

Other Services

Other than wrong fuel in the car, we also provide other services related to it. You should also know about them. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the right and lawful way. Getting rid 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 degrade 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 ideal tools for it.

This is a unique service that we offer to commercial and private clients. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks as well as a wide variety of other containers, as long as we can reach them. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and get rid of it safely and securely to the right regulations.

On Your Way

Talking of getting you on your way, if our mobile technician has been beavering away whilst you have been knowing more about our services, he is likely to be close to finishing now. For most cases, our standard time for getting our clients sorted and back on the road is around 30 minutes.

Our well trained technicians also have the equipment and know-how to help you handle other problems resulting from incorrect fuel, which include: flat battery and air locks in the fuel system, so you won’t be stuck on the road because of them.

Wrong Fuel in Car Pullington - Petrol in Diesel Car Pullington

It truly was what is called the night shift. It was close to 3:30am and nobody was around. It was quite uneventful thus far, and me and Mark were sitting about perusing some old papers. That was an uncommon tranquil moment. It was indeed that peaceful that the moment my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The voice told me: "I have completed my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in my Pullington by mistake". We got him to tell us exactly where the car was and we set off, reaching him not as much as an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the car and he thanked us for arriving so quickly. As we were coming back home we noticed two young women at the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Accordingly we stopped to help 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.
