Wrong Fuel in Car Sturry - Petrol in Diesel Car Sturry

It truly was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 2am and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been pretty quiet so far, and me and Brian were sitting reading a few old papers. It was an uncommon peaceful time. It was in fact that peaceful that the moment the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The person on the opposite end stated: "I completed my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the diesel Sturry by mistake". We told him to tell us just where he was and we hit the road, reaching him no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He thanked us for arriving so quickly. While we were returning home we noticed two girls on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. So we got out to change it, to their delight.

If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in the car. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your car as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the tools on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we simply charge the current pump prices. We are very considerate when it’s time to make the payment, we know this is an emergency situation for you so we don't insist on cash but allow all the major debit and credit cards.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle isn’t the only reason for engine problems. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause very similar symptoms of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also exhibit 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.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, just like in the case of filling your tank with the incorrect fuel.

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.
