Local Call-Out and Roadside Repair in Shropshire
Petrol in the diesel motor vehicle in Treflach? Thank you for visiting Wrong Fuel SoS. Call us and enquire how we can easily aid you to get you on the road again.
It was close to 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the rugby, ready for the next call for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Treflach and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel old Nissan hire car by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. One more job in Shropshire done well in my books!

Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may well result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances quite expediently.
Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.
Wrong Fuel in Car in SY10 Postcode - Treflach Misfueling
A motorist had come to a stop on a street, Treflach having just misfueled. She was sobbing and quite distressed as she had put £60 of petrol in her diesel car. As she contacted us we attempted to calm her as best we could, assuring her that all would be no problem. When we got to her she was no longer disrupted and was rather fascinated in watching our technician carry out the fuel drain on her mom's Mercedes C-Class. Soon after she said: "My vehicle is akin to my child, I only just got it and so it truly concerned me that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm pleased that it was very easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Treflach
I'm not excessively interested in running on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd just departed the wife and kids filled with a lovely dinner made by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a guy who filled the incorrect fuel in his maroon Audi. He was only in Treflach therefore I was there very quickly. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any kind of damage by running it?" I explained that there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also that I'd personally remove the wrong fuel quickly. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and then one more content client had the ability to continue on his ride without the difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what makes working on Sundays in Shropshire just that tiny bit better for me personally!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Treflach - Fuel Rescue Treflach
A driver from Treflach with a full car of children in her diesel cream Nissan Pathfinder had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the BP service station. She contacted us weeping and really worried as she had never wrong fueled and did not know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything should be ok and that she would be in action soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the little ones on board."

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
