The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!




On arrival of the technician at your car

Once the mechanic is at your location and has access to your car, his first job is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to wrong fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in the car. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the equipment on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. You should not worry that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the current pump price. We are quite considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we do not insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

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

You can also notice similar symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. However, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's precisely why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If added manually, this should be done by somebody who knows the correct place to put it.

In both of the cases above, we can offer the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the wrong fuel in your car. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. As we deal with your fuel trouble, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Other Services

Did you know that we also give other services?

We also deliver other services to our clients after handling the issue of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Such contaminated fuels have to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the surroundings and even pollute local water supplies. We are professional in this industry too as we are certified by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this job, both legally and safely.

If you are a commercial or private customer needing safe disposal of contaminated fuel, then you can be assured that you are also in the right place. All you should do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it doesn't matter whether it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or container since we can get to it and get rid of it properly.

We always try to solve the problem within the shortest time possible so you don’t stay on the road for over 30 minutes. As our mobile mechanic does the job, check out our other services as you wait. We try to guarantee you that you will be back on the road after a very short time.

Our experienced technicians also have the tools and know-how to help you fix other issues 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.

Recent Wrong Fuel Drains around South Green

Just a few of the more routine things we see from many of our specialists in South Green:

Wrong Fuel in Car South Green - Petrol in Diesel Car South Green

It was before five pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the recent footy, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage and put the wrong fuel in her diesel South Green lease car. She was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we could get to the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away contented and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction well done in my books!

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.
