My vehicle was not running well I just needed to pull over and then it died."

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!



We learn from experiences and mistakes so we should not get too down so much once we face such scenarios since they make us more careful and equip us with the appropriate mentality and skills on how to manage such problems in future. You should avoid being in a rush, not concentrating when you are on autopilot, and being in a vehicle you are borrowing or hiring in order to avoid going through the same mistake.

Other Fuel Issues in Hall Green

Vehicle problems are not attributed only to wrong fuel in the fuel system. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your car to run poorly and ultimately stop altogether. It doesn't matter if your car runs on petrol or diesel, water contamination will cause the same signs to those described above.

The running of the engine is usually improved using a diesel system additive called AdBlue. It is generally administered incorrectly, as such, it is significant that it is done by somebody who knows how to utilize it. Otherwise, it may end up creating problems to your vehicle. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The probability of misusing AdBlue is quite high especially if done by somebody with no knowledge in this.

Such a problem is also shown by the car not running smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Good news is we are always ready to help. Our technicians are professionals in this area too in addition to issues dealing with water contamination and incorrect fuel in the vehicle.


The Right Kit and Know-how

You could save some quid by doing the works by yourself or by your good friend that knows about vehicles instead of asking the professionals. You'll never be there. All our nationwide mobile technicians are properly trained in what is, a complicated process across a vast range of different cars. Professional tools are all in the van to each of the technicians so they can quickly access them even in remote locations. Just be reminded that fuel can easily ignite, thus, should be handled just by well trained technicians.


Safe and Legal Disposal

After efficiently draining out the incorrect fuel in your car, we ensure that the right storage and proper disposal of contaminated fuel follow. To businesses that have these fuel wastes, we deliver this service separately. As long as these containers are easily accessible, we wouldn't have trouble draining these mobile tanks 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 in accordance with the laws.


In the unlikely event that wrong fuel or contaminated fuel isn't the issue, our skilled technician will be able to identify that, and the likely cause and we will only make a nominal call out cost, not the originally quoted price.


Will it take long

Works by the technician won't take very long, so you do not have to wait for hours. On average, you will be on your way, and getting on with your day within thirty minutes.

By letting us assist you, we hope to make you realise that this issue 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 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.

I had a perfect evening hiking on my off day and was feeling contented the following working day as I was en route to aid a young family on holiday. They'd stopped after adding petrol into their Hall Green, and they were about half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I listened to the woman telling off her partner for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this situation goes on all the time and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he all the same got an earful by his better half. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove away I waved hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
