Wrong Fuel in Car Ellenhall, Staffordshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Repair in Staffordshire

In case you have put the wrong fuel in the car and so now require the contaminated fuel extracted you are most likely searching the internet hunting for a quick, trusted, proficient and a relatively inexpensive fuel drain service in Ellenhall or Staffordshire. Well, we are the contractor for you!

It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the footy, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we got a call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Ellenhall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel elegant Mitsubishi Lancer hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very affected apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could reach the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and much less stressed. Yet another job in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Ellenhall (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the most common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will often contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ellenhall

Now I'm not overly excited about working Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after a lovely lunch prepared for us by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a man after he had filled the wrong petrol in his compact Kia Optima. He was only in Ellenhall hence I was with him very quickly. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on something else and did not grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created any kind of problems by running it?" I revealed that there shouldn't be any harm and that I'd drain the wrong fuel at once. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and another pleased motorist was able to carry on with his traveling without any fuss. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Staffordshire that little less painful in my opinion!

A customer who had sadly put unleaded in his diesel rugged Peugeot Bipper called us for help at the Esso filling station in Ellenhall.

It was absolutely no trouble whatsoever for our fuel drainer to go out and do the fuel drain. We hope they had a good getaway.

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.
