Wrong Fuel in Car Fox Royd - Petrol in Diesel Car Fox Royd

A customer driving nearby phoned us as soon as she had managed to get her misfueled car to her office.

The car was chugging and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted in 60 minutes whilst she was working. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely delighted you fixed my car."

Having said so, if you ever find yourself in a strange vehicle or a car where the autopilot is operating, you should just relax. Having this information, knowing symptoms of incorrect fuel in your car or other problems should be easy. It would not matter if you are concentrating on the problem or not, you will just identify it.

Aside from incorrect fuel in your vehicle, water contamination can also cause your vehicle to run poorly before coming to a halt, regardless of the type of gas you use as a propellant. This implies that if you experience any of the previously mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

The running of the engine is commonly improved utilizing a diesel system additive called AdBlue. However, it should only be utilized by experts who understand where and how to use it. Or else, it would cause issues and problems to your car. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The possibility of misusing AdBlue is quite high particularly if done by someone with no knowledge in this.

The signs of AdBlue contamination also include the vehicle not moving perfectly and eventually stopping. The great thing is that we are here to help. Our mobile technicians are used to dealing with a wide range of vehicular problems, not only water contamination or having the wrong fuel in the car but this kind of problem too.


The Right Kit and Know-how

You could save some quid by doing the works by yourself or by your close friend that knows about vehicles instead of asking the experts. Wrong! Whatever kind of car you have, all of our standby mobile mechanics are completely equipped with the best training and knowledge. Specialist equipment are all in the van to each of the technicians so they can very easily access them even in remote areas. Remember, fuel is designed to ignite and shouldn't be handled by anyone who isn't properly trained to do so.


Safe and Legal Disposal

Draining, storage and disposal of contaminated fuel is an important part of the process when helping our customers who have put the wrong fuel in their car. It is also a separate service we deliver businesses and private individuals. As long as these containers are easily accessible, we wouldn't have problem draining these mobile bowsers or fixed storage tanks or any types of containers that hold contaminated fuels. If you can't do it, on your behalf we'll do the disposal based on the laws.


Our technicians will get to work immediately, and they will work at a high speed and in an efficient way that will make you satisfied. They will empty out the mixed fuel, replace it with fresh fuel, change the damaged parts in the event of any and even jump start your vehicle if the battery voltage has run low to let you hit back to the road. Our mechanics carry with them ample clean fuel, and they do not mind offering you as much as you need.


First thing our mechanics will do upon reaching your place is to verify if indeed it is an issue of wrong or contaminated fuel. If they diagnose a different problem, then they notify you about it and will provide you with the right call-out costs as stated by the office.


How long does a fuel drain take

Works by the technician won't take long, so you don't need to wait for hours. We typically target around 30 minutes. After that, you will be back to driving.

By allowing us help you, we hope to make you realise that this problem is not as bad as you first expected. Thank you for allowing us give our professional services to you.

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 anywhere in West Yorkshire to 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.
