Wrong Fuel in Car Hood Green, South Yorkshire

24/7 Mobile Wrong Fuel Drains in and around South Yorkshire

Having the wrong fuel in your car can be stressful particularly during those times you are thinking about traveling. To make it worse, this type of unfortunate scenario unfolds when you are miles away from your residence. Therefore, when you realized you have a lot of things in mind, it becomes so disheartening. Nonetheless, things don't always have to be that way as we have got your back in the event of such emergencies.

Now I am not so enthusiastic about working on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd only just left home after having a magnificent lunch made by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman after he put the incorrect fuel in his Hood Green. He was only nearby so it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and did not grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any kind of harm as a result of starting it?" I determined truth be told there probably should not be damage and also that I'd remove the contaminated fuel immediately. As expected I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and so yet another pleased customer could continue on their traveling with no difficulty. The gentleman could hardly stop thanking me, and this is exactly what can make operating on weekends just a small bit easier in my opinion!

If you haven't and your car is in a risky position, get out from the nearside doors and find a secure place to stand. Alert incoming drivers regarding your problem through the use of a warning triangle positioned fifty meters from your car. Always use the nearside door; this is true particularly when leaving a damaged vehicle stuck in the middle of a busy road. It would be safer to leave your pet within the car throughout a breakdown, in case you are bringing one.

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.
