Wrong Fuel in Car Newstead - Petrol in Diesel Car Newstead

A person called us to say he stupidly piped petrol in his diesel Newstead. "Shocking! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It only took the technician roughly fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He completely purged the fuel system and then put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him car dealership prices to have the task professionally performed.



Signs of the Problem and its Causes

Now that you have personally experienced what it's like to have the wrong fuel in your vehicle, you may be be careful next time. And to completely understand signs of the problem here's a list for future reference:

  • The engine won't run and it's spluttering
  • If you notice the exhaust, you will notice lots of smoke coming out
  • Engine appears powerless now matter how hard you push the accelerator
  • The vehicle will stop on its own

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!



We learn from experiences and mistakes so we shouldn't get too down so much once we face such situations since they make us more careful and equip us with the appropriate mentality and skills on how to manage such problems in future.

But there are means in which you can avoid being in the same situation once more and they include not being in a rush, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange vehicle which you are not used to traveling in.

As stated earlier, there are other issues that could be the cause of your vehicle problems aside from wrong fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar poor car performance, generally ending in your car breaking down. This implies that if you experience any of the previously mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

Diesel engines (modern ones) these days make use of AdBlue to reduce nitrous pollutants in the exhaust fumes. Having the right ratio of AdBlue to fuel is critical, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If you get somebody to directly add this to your tank without knowing the proper procedure, it's more likely to cause trouble to your engine. Again, the symptoms are very like those stated above, and we can put things right for you. So the message is, ?if your engine splutters, smokes and stops, we can almost certainly help, and get you going again, whatever the cause?.


Diesel or petrol being very flammable should be handled by a professional with the appropriate equipment. Fuel for instance, can ignite effortlessly, turning a small problem into a tragic one. You can deal with the issue yourself or employ a friend to do it so as to save money, but you are advised to hire a professional so as to avoid any further fuel related issue.

Besides, our technicians are situated throughout the place, and they have all the skill sets and knowledge, and will solve the issue for you quickly and at a reasonable price.


Safe and Legal Disposal

After efficiently draining out the incorrect fuel in your vehicle, we make sure that the proper storage and proper disposal of contaminated fuel follow. We also provide this as a separate service to private individuals or firms. As long as these containers are easily accessible, we wouldn't have trouble draining these mobile bowsers or fixed storage tanks or any types of containers that hold contaminated fuels. On your behalf, we can then dispose the waste fuel properly and in accordance with the law of the land.


Fuel Drain Invoicing

The official VAT invoice we provide when you made your payment for the services we rendered can be used when you claim for the expense you made from your insurance agency or if the car is use as company car service.


We are coming to you

Wrong Fuel in Car Newstead - Petrol in Diesel Car Newstead

I am not ever excessively interested in running on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had only just left home following a superb lunch prepared for us by the better half, and I was en route to help a man who filled the wrong fuel in his Newstead. He was somewhere nearby so it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up behind the car and started work he told me "Thank God! I foolishly had my mind on other stuff and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought on harm through driving it?" I stated truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I would personally remove the fuel right away. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and so yet another delighted motorist was able to carry on with his trip without bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what tends to make working on Sundays just that tiny bit less painful for me!

Our fuel drainer went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and performed a standard fuel drain and cleanse on the Newstead to everyone's satisfaction.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.

The driver of a Newstead was sorry that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel automobile when he got onto the street and it spluttered and broke down. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel vehicle," is what he shared with us the first time he phoned. To be truthful, when he initially contacted us he said he would like to check around, but he phoned us back soon enough because our pricing and arrival times were the most desirable. Obviously, our engineer had him once again doing his deliveries well within the time period we had cited.
