Wrong Fuel in Car Woodlands - Petrol in Diesel Car Woodlands

A teen who had only recently passed his test had wrong fueled his Woodlands by having unleaded in his diesel vehicle at the filling station. He said, "This is the second time I have put fuel in my car from the time when I bought it and I do not know how to proceed." He was also scared because his dad had only just bought him the car. He found our company on the net and so called us right away, afraid about what he should do. Our person on the telephones informed him that we would be with him in forty five minutes and to not touch his car while he waited. We performed the drain on his car and he stated how astonished he was it was taken care of so swiftly and without complication whatsoever.



Causes and Obvious Symptoms

You will probably have just encountered signs of having the wrong fuel in your car, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, in case:

  • The engine won't work and it's spluttering
  • The exhaust produces lots of smoke
  • Your car won't have power regardless of how hard you press the accelerator
  • The car will stop on its own

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!



All that said, you will most likely be more careful 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 incorrect fuel in your car:

  • You are in a circumstance where you are confused while in a hurry
  • Out of concentration since you are on autopilot
  • You're using a vehicle you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired

Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.

A sputtering engine with low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination. It does not matter whether your car utilizes diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to work roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also know about it.

Diesel engines (modern ones) nowadays utilize AdBlue to reduce nitrous toxins in the exhaust fumes. The proper amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very critical. It's generally mounted on a separate tank to avoid directly mixing to your fuel tank. If you get somebody to directly add this to your tank without knowing the proper procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. Again, the symptoms are very like those described above, and we can put things right for you. 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".


Flammable materials require not just adequate expertise, but also a variety of relevant tools to deal with them properly. Fuel for instance, can ignite effortlessly, turning a small issue into a catastrophic one. It is therefore recommended you involve an expert whenever you are handling fuel related problems, though doing it by yourself or involving a friend may be cheaper.

Furthermore, our technicians are distributed across the country, and they are educated to handle various vehicles and sort various troubles at very inexpensive prices and over an amazingly short time.

Avoid further expenses by not selecting something cheap. If you are unskilled or you ask an inexperienced friend to manage your problem to save expenses, it’s possible you might lose the car, instead. You should also bear in mind that you will have to get fresh fuel hence more costs due to transport. Allowing our technicians to serve is both safe and affordable. We are affordable and reasonable in pricing. So bringing clean and fresh fuel to re-fill your tank would not add too much to the general expenses involved. In addition, we will assist you to get rid of contaminated fuel in a secure way.

Our technicians can drain contaminated fuel from all types of tanks provided they have access to them. These incorporate fixed storage tanks, mobile tanks or group containers containing contaminated fuel, we can manage the job.

Wrong Fuel in Car Woodlands - Petrol in Diesel Car Woodlands

A woman with her youngsters in her diesel Woodlands had put £50 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what might happen to her car . We reassured her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be ready to go quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the kids on board."
