The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!




When we reach your vehicle

Once the mechanic is with you and has access to your car, his first work is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is caused by incorrect fuel or not. 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.

If it is really the problem of wrong fuel in a car, our technician will solve it instantly since he carries the tools for flushing out the wrong fuel and filling up the tank with the correct fuel. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the current pump price. We are quite considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we understand this is an emergency situation for you so we don't insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Other Services

We also offer other services besides fixing the problem of incorrect fuel

You must also note that we dispose of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. The contaminated fuel shouldn't be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by an expert in this industry because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the surroundings. We are professional in this field too as we are certified by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this work, both legally and safely.

Getting rid of the contaminated fuel is also a service of its own which we provide to private and commercial customers. If you have a private company and in need of our service, we only need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other kinds of container. We will then do the rest of the work in accordance to the environmental law specified.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave badly. It will make it display the same signs as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. This case of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to exhibit similar symptoms. This additive which is used 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 directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. Hence if someone who is not aware of this process tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

Whether it's the issue of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using the same procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the issue of wrong fuel in a car. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. As we deal with your fuel problem, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Getting You moving

Don’t worry about waiting for long considering that our mobile technician will reach you as quickly as possible whilst you go through our services and information, and he should be with you not long from now. In most instances it takes about 30 minutes to put things right and get our clients on their way.

In some instances, wrong fuel in a vehicle can result in additional problems such as a flat battery and the existence of air in the fuel system. But our competent technicians also have the tools and capabilities to put everything right and get you on your way.

Thus, if you had started feeling stressed because of the issue of wrong fuel, at least you are now relieved and prepared to proceed with your journey as if nothing had happened.

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

It was close to 5 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting there talking about the weekend's golf results, waiting for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Woodside Green lease car in error. She was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and not so worried. A job well done in my mind!

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.

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 2am and nobody was around. It was pretty quiet up to now, and Ray and I were sitting about reading a number of old newspapers. That was an uncommon tranquil moment. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that the moment the telephone eventually rang I jumped! The voice on the other end said: "I've completed my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a Woodside Green by mistake". I instructed him to tell us just where he was situated and we left, arriving no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine and he said thanks for coming out so quickly. While we were coming back to base we noticed two girls on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, much to their elation.
