Wrong Fuel in Car Shipbourne - Petrol in Diesel Car Shipbourne

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3am and nobody was about. It was pretty dead so far, and Ray and I were relaxing browsing several old papers. It was an uncommon tranquil moment. Actually it was so calm that the instant the telephone rang I leaped with surprise! The customer explained: "I only just finished my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel Shipbourne by mistake". I told him to tell us where he was situated and we hit the road, getting to him 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car and he said many thanks for getting there so quickly. As we were going back home we noticed two ladies at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we got out and helped them change it, much to their delight.

Once we reach your site

Once our competent technician reaches your vehicle he will assess your vehicle to confirm 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 nominal fee.

If, as it is in most cases, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is completely equipped and experienced to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the car with the correct kind of fuel. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just charge the present pump prices. And when it is time to pay, we can accept all major debit and credit cards, as we understand you may not have enough cash and have possibly stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should know that wrong fuel is not the only problem which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your car or truck produce a lot of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, such as damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in case of wrong fuel.

A diesel-powered car may also show such signs when someone puts AdBlue straight into the vehicle’s fuel tank. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the vehicle.

But don’t fret as regardless of whether it is an issue of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still able to help you. We can get you back to your journey after we do the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel. Other than that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can replace them on the spot. You don't have to call for another provider to do that.

Other Services

Are you aware that we give other services too?

You must also note that we dispose of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. 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. We are professional in this field too as we are accredited by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this work, both legally and safely.

Disposing of the contaminated fuel is a different service that we provide to our private and commercial customers at some fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given areas, we can easily get rid of contaminated fuels safely.

We'll be there in no time. 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 just have about 30 minutes to get the job done and get you back on the road.

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.
