Wrong Fuel in Car Burmarsh - Petrol in Diesel Car Burmarsh

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to assist an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel Burmarsh. I'd been told she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up in a country lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I popped her location in the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I arrived at the destination and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a few days ago because my other car, which I'd had for more than 30 years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant lady!

On getting to your vehicle

Once our mobile mechanic arrives, he will evaluate the situation before taking any action. And if he discovers that it is not the issue of wrong fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will only be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of wrong fuel in a car.

If the technician finds out that it is truly the case of wrong fuel then he will begin fixing it immediately as he already has the fresh fuel and the required tools to fix the problem. He will right away remove mixed fuel and then change it out with fresh fuel, and we won’t charge you extra on the fresh fuel. We are aware that you might not be carrying enough money with you, but you don’t need to worry since we accept any common credit or debit card thus you can make use of them to pay.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also take note of the fact that wrong fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal manner, but often the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But you must also remember that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

You can also observe similar symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should just be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be carried out by somebody who knows the right place to put it.

In these situations, we can give the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. As we deal with your fuel problem, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

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 Kent 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.
