Wrong Fuel in Car Newall - Petrol in Diesel Car Newall
We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval exercise on the drive of a lovely house not so long ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to almost arrive at home when my car broke down." Our specialist went out, regardless that it was pretty late at night, and carried out a standard fuel drain and purge on the Newall .
You may experience strange signs in your vehicle but you are unsure if it has something to do with the presence of wrong fuel. Some clients have in the past reported the problem of incorrect fuel only to realize later that it was a different problem. To avoid any doubt, try having the following signs of the incorrect fuel in your fingertip. If the engine starts spluttering and start running roughly, or if there is the production of excessive smoke resulting in the low supply of power to the car making it stop then there is a high chance that you have put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle.

That experience of filling up your tank with the incorrect fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be cautious in the future. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.
- You are in a hurry and confused on what to do
- Out of concentration as you are on autopilot
- Being in a car or truck you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a vehicle
Besides incorrect fuel in your vehicle, water contamination can also cause your car to run poorly before coming to a halt, regardless of the kind of gas you use as a propellant. Thus, if your vehicle starts showing the aforementioned signs, you should not only suspect wrong fuel but also water contamination.
A lot of modern diesel engines use AdBlue, a system that reduces the pollution of the engine. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle should be of correct ratio to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank attached somewhere. If somebody isn't aware of this and attempts to add it straight into the tank, it will create problems. Again, the symptoms are very like those stated above, and we can put things right for you. Just bear in mind what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for assistance and we'll be there".
The Right Kit and Know-how
It would save a few quid if you could sort this out yourself, or maybe your mate who is handy with vehicles could do it right? That's a mistaken belief! Whatever type of vehicle you have got, all of our standby mobile technicians are totally equipped with the right training and knowledge. Specialist tools are all in the van to each of the technicians so they can easily access them even in remote locations. Just be reminded that fuel can easily ignite, thus, should be handled only by trained technicians.
Safe and Legal Disposal
Draining, storage and disposal of contaminated fuel is an important part of the process when assisting our customers who have put the wrong fuel in their vehicle. We also provide this as a separate service to private individuals or businesses. We can drain any kind of fuel container as long as they are all accessible. These containers include mobile bowser, fixed storage tank or other type of containers. Once the contaminated fuel has been collected, we can securely and legally dispose of it on your behalf.
In the unlikely event that wrong fuel or contaminated fuel isn't the issue, our trained technician will be able to identify that, and the likely cause and we will just make a nominal call out fee, not the originally quoted price.
Will it take long
On average, 30 minutes is the time it takes us to get you back on the road after putting the right fuel back in your car. So all you need to do is to make that call, and you won't regret it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Newall - Petrol in Diesel Car Newall
A rather alarmed driver called us from the Texaco filling station to inform us that he put petrol into his diesel Newall; he wasn't totally sure how he'd managed to do it. We assured him it was absolutely no worry and soon enough had our fuel drainer with him to clear the contaminated fuel from his car. Having taken out the contaminated fuel, he was almost immediately back on the road. He told us; "I am genuinely surprised I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the man who appeared to carry out the fuel drain was extremely excellent - he did not make me seem ridiculous."
