The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!




After arrival

Once our competent technician arrives at your vehicle he will assess your car to confirm if it is truly the case of incorrect fuel in the car. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will only charge you a minimal cost.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your car as usually is the case, our technicians have all the tools on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with good clean fuel of the correct type. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the price of fresh fuel since we charge the same price as any petrol station. We also know that you may not be carrying enough cash with you hence you should know that we also take any major credit card or debit card payments.

Other Services

You should also learn that besides fixing your car with wrong fuel, we deliver other services related to fuel. To name one is disposing of the contaminated fuel the right and legal way. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not permitted to anyone unless you are qualified to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly pollute the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not merely certified by the Environment Agency but also have the right tools for it.

We offer this as a service in itself to both business and private customers. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks and also 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 to the right regulations.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause same symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you should also suspect it. 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.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to show similar symptoms. This additive which is utilized to purify the emissions of your engine should just 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 this is added into the fuel tank by someone who knows nothing of AdBlue, the result would be not good for the engine.

Whether it is the issue of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can solve it using the same process of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the issue of wrong fuel in a car. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. As we deal with your fuel trouble, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

You will be back on the road soon

We always try to deal with the problem within the shortest time possible so you don’t stay on the road for more than 30 minutes. So try going through our services as our mobile technician tries to solve your issue. We promise to get you on your way as soon as possible.

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

We know that the day has been quite stressful, but we do hope that we have helped you stay relieved and enabled you to carry on with the journey with ease.

Wrong Fuel in Car Stede Quarter - Petrol in Diesel Car Stede Quarter

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 on a rainy Sunday and I was en route to assist an elder lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Stede Quarter. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up on a country lane on route to see her family. I got her location punched into the Satnav and was with her inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I am getting fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel as I had just bought it a few days ago after my former one, which I had owned for about twenty years, eventually stopped working". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. What a pleasant woman!

It was close to six pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were resting discussing the rugby, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we had a call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station and filled petrol in her diesel Stede Quarter rental car. The poor lady was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction done well in my opinion!

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.

The driver of a Stede Quarter was regretful that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car when he got as far as the road and it coughed and stopped. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel car," is what he said to us the very first time he called. To be honest, when he first contacted us he said he would like to research prices, but he phoned us back before long because our rate and call-out times were the most desirable. Needless to say, our fuel drainer had him once again performing his deliveries well within the time period we had cited.
