The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!




Upon our arrival

Once our mobile mechanic arrives, he will evaluate the situation before taking any action. In the rare case that the problem isn’t incorrect fuel in your vehicle, they will recognize this before doing any more work, and just a minimal call out fee will be made.

If, as it is in most situations, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is fully equipped and knowledgeable to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct kind of fuel. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just ask for the current pump prices. We are very 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 allow all the major debit and credit cards.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

There are other reasons for engine troubles apart from wrong fuel in a vehicle. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar symptoms of lack of power, irregular running, a lot of smoke and stalling. This is a serious problem that can totally damage the fuel filters.

AdBlue if added wrongly it can also display similar signs in your vehicle. This additive which is utilized to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this process tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

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 incorrect fuel in your vehicle. It doesn't matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters destroyed by water.

Other Services

Did you Know

You might also wish to know if we give other services aside from solving the problem of wrong fuel.

Once our mobile mechanic has emptied out the wrong fuel, they have a full tank of contaminated fuel which must be disposed of.

Wrong Fuel in Car Statenborough - Petrol in Diesel Car Statenborough

Now I'm not ever very excited about carrying out work on weekends, and the other day was no different. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after a magnificent Sunday roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman after he put the wrong petrol in his Statenborough. He was situated nearby so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and did not ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused some damage by simply starting it?" I stated there probably should not be any harm and also that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once for him. Obviously I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and so one more happy client could continue on their ride without any hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and that makes carrying out work on Sundays just a small bit better in my opinion!

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to help an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel Statenborough. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and stranded on a backwater road on the way to visit her godchildren. I popped her location in the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I got to the car and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only just acquired it several days ago because my previous one, which I had for about 30 years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. Such a precious lady!

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.
