Fuel Fixer Ltd has had lots of wrong fuel corrections on vehicles contaminated with the wrong fuel. Last month there was a businesswoman in her Upper Armley: "I incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my motor and broke down on the road. You sent a fuel drainer out to me in a half-hour and the car was running once again in no time. You had me back on the road again after only 60 minutes. I really appreciate it."
Signs of the Problem and its Causes
Your experience of having a tank fueled with the wrong fuel may teach you see the signs of the problem. For full reference for future use, here are some the symptoms:
- Your engine will splutter and not run efficiently
- If you notice the exhaust, you will notice lots of smoke coming out
- Even you totally press the accelerator, the engine still seems no power to run
- The car will stop on its own
All that said, you will possibly be more cautious in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. You'll want to go over what exactly are the potential causes of why it happened.
- You're in a situation where you are confused while in a hurry
- You're in autopilot mode and not checking

Presence of water in fuel is yet another issue
Presence of water in fuel is yet another thing which can make your vehicle behave in the manner explained above. Hence you also have to consider it. It does not matter whether your vehicle utilizes diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also pay attention to it.
A lot of modern diesel engines utilize AdBlue, a system that cuts down the pollution of the engine. The amount of AdBlue added to your vehicle must be of correct ratio in order to avoid further problem. It's for this reason, AdBlue has a separate tank installed somewhere. If someone isn't aware of this and tries to add it directly into the tank, it will cause problems. You will start to notice similar symptoms mentioned above but you should not be worried about it. Just keep 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".

Our technical staff are trained and have a great experience in dealing with such issues in all types of vehicle.
Our mechanics also carry clean fuel to place in your tank once the system has been drained and flushed, and we only charge you current pump costs. Don't forget all that dirty contaminated fuel too.

Wrong Fuel in Car Upper Armley - Petrol in Diesel Car Upper Armley
It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and me were sitting commenting on the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the seventh job to come in. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Upper Armley rental car. She was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain well done in my opinion!

A young lady had stopped on a street, having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was in tears and really agitated as she had put £45 petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we attempted to relax her as best we could, reassuring her that all would be okay. By the time we reached her she was no longer distressed and was rather interested in watching our engineer do the fuel drain on her Upper Armley. Later on she said: "My car is like my baby, I just paid for it and so it truly concerned me that I had put a whole lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly happy that it was easily repairable."

A fairly concerned driver phoned us from the Esso filling station to inform us that he had put petrol in his diesel Upper Armley; he wasn't quite certain how he'd done it. We advised him it was not a situation and soon had our specialist out to him to clean the contaminated fuel from his tank. Having removed the incorrect fuel, he was shortly back behind the wheel. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the chap who came to perform the fuel drain was incredibly excellent - he did not make me appear foolish."
