Wrong Fuel in Car Arnold, Nottinghamshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Repair in Nottinghamshire

Petrol in your diesel car in Arnold? You've come to the correct place. We are able to help you in this emergency and get you running once again with our specialist wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was just after 8 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the recent footy rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Arnold and put petrol in a diesel apple green Mercedes Sprinter 2500 lease car. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the lady quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. Another job in Nottinghamshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Arnold (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They will be able to deal with the usual problems which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Nottinghamshire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely never turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Arnold - Wrong Fuel in Car Arnold

A guy had broken down just near a road in Arnold. His luxury Nissan Pathfinder car had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was the problem until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the night before and that must have been precisely why.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Arnold

We not too long ago had a phone call from a motorist who put the wrong fuel in his dad's Land Rover Range Rover Classic in Arnold. He had conked out on the street. "It was amazing how rapid you were in sending somebody out to aid me after I foolishly put the wrong fuel in my. Thanks". Of course we arrived on the scene punctually and purged the engine after draining all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived our fuel drainer said the motorist was raging, but was really happy when we finished.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Arnold - Fuel Rescue Arnold

A woman employed in Arnold called us shortly after she managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had put unleaded in her diesel metallic grey Austin Mini and, like many before her, thought that she could just top up her tank with diesel and it'd run alright. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she reached the entrance of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed inside one hour whilst she was at work. She came out soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you sorted my vehicle."

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.

Familiar Misfueling Warning signs:
