Wrong Fuel in Car Woodlake, Dorset

Local Call-Out and Roadside Repair in Dorset

In the event that you've put petrol in a diesel automobile in Woodlake we are the company you should contact. We cover the whole of the Woodlake region and all nearby sectors.

It was just before 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and me were seated there talking over the recent golf, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Woodlake and put the wrong fuel in her diesel rust red Toyota RAV4 hire car. She was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that these things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected area and, since it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and not so worried. One more job in Dorset done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Dorset we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not understanding how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course take care not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical expertise and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BH20 Postcode - Woodlake Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Tuesday and we were en route to assist an elder woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel apricot Chevrolet Corsica in Woodlake. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a backwater lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped the location in the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I had only just purchased it a week back after my former car, which I owned for about twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. What a pleasant Dorset lady!

Thus, if you've filled your petrol car with diesel, or petrol in your diesel motor vehicle just about anywhere in Dorset, speak to us immediately. Our expert mechanics are available for your call.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Woodlake

I'm not that hot for carrying out work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left home after eating a wonderful dinner made for us by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a fellow after he had filled the wrong fuel in his cream VW Jetta III. He was somewhere in Woodlake and so I was with him almost immediately. As I arrived behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on stuff and did not perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I inflicted some harm by simply starting it?" I said that generally there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained quickly. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and then another contented customer could continue his trip with no hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and this helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Dorset a tiny bit easier for me!

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 VA 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 and 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.
