The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!




Upon arrival

First thing our technician will do once he arrives at your vehicle is to assess your car so as to verify if indeed it is the problem of incorrect fuel, and if they find out that it is not, he will only charge you an updated amount of the quoted price.

Assuming it is the incorrect 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. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the present pump price. And when it is time to pay, we can accept all major credit and debit cards, as we know you may not carry enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Other Services

Did you know that we also offer other services?

After solving the issue of wrong fuel we also help you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel. The contaminated fuel should not be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by a professional in this industry because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the surroundings. We are also professionals in this industry and are authorized by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both safely and legally.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is another separate service that we deliver to commercial and private customers at a 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 the contaminated fuels safely.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will quickly be shown by your engine. It will make it display the same symptoms as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. This situation of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

You can also notice the same 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 straight to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's the reason why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If added manually, this should be done by someone who knows the appropriate place to put it.

But you don't have to worry since we can fix both issues for you by applying the same procedure used in solving the matter of wrong fuel. So, if your problem is incorrect fuel, water contaminated fuel, damaged fuel filters or AdBlue into the incorrect tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus enabling you to continue with your journey.

We will arrive at your vehicle soon. 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.

Wrong Fuel in Car Thurnham - Petrol in Diesel Car Thurnham

A woman with a full car of kids in her diesel Thurnham had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and really upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that all would be ok and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

A customer who had unluckily put unleaded in his diesel Thurnham contacted us for assistance at the Texaco petrol station. He had decided to top up before proceeding on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded instead of diesel which probably wasn't a good way to start to our holiday break." It was definitely no challenge at all for our engineer to go along and carry out the fuel drain. We hope everyone had a good vacation.

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.
