Wrong Fuel in Car Oulton - Petrol in Diesel Car Oulton

It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting there talking over the weekend's football results, ready for the next job that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling station and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Oulton rental. The poor lady was quite agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe area and, since it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and less worried. One more fuel drain done well in my books!



What to consider in case you have put wrong fuel in car

After refueling your tank, your vehicle may begin showing some signs but you might not be able to grasp them all. Nonetheless, if your engine begins sputtering or if you start seeing lots of smoke emerging from the exhaust, or your car stops and shows no power at all even though you push the accelerator harder and harder, then it is almost a given that you have put the wrong fuel in your vehicle.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!



All that said, you will probably be more cautious in future, now that you have experienced putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle. From now on, be aware of those common causes of putting the wrong fuel in your car:

  • You are in a hurry and confused on what exactly to do
  • You're in autopilot mode and not checking
  • You are using a vehicle you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired

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

Diesel engines (modern ones) nowadays use AdBlue to reduce nitrous toxins in the exhaust fumes. Having the correct ratio of AdBlue to fuel is critical, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If somebody isn't mindful of this and attempts to add it directly into the tank, it will cause problems. Again, the symptoms are very like those described above, and we can put things right for you. Here's our message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll always be your helping hand at any time of the day, anywhere you are".


We are loaded with the essential tools and skills

You might think that dealing with the issues by yourself or allowing your good friend who has skills on how to solve them will save you some money. But you are wrong considering that the above problems are really complicated and should just be solved by somebody who is properly trained so as to avoid mishaps such as fire caused by incorrect handling of fuel. Our technical staff are trained and have a great experience in dealing with such issues in all types of vehicle.


Getting Rid of Waste Fuel

After efficiently draining out the wrong fuel in your vehicle, we make certain that the right storage and proper disposal of contaminated fuel follow. It is also another service we provide companies and private individuals. We can drain any kind of fuel container as long as they are all accessible. These containers include mobile bowser, fixed storage tank or any other type of containers. Once the contaminated fuel has been collected, we can properly and legally dispose of it on your behalf.


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


How long does a fuel drain take

You don't need to panic about waiting for long until the mechanic is done. We typically target about half an hour. After that, you will be back to driving.

So, after contacting us putting the wrong fuel in your car won't have to be the nightmare you originally thought it was going to be.

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.
