Wrong Fuel in Car Chestfield - Petrol in Diesel Car Chestfield

When we get to your vehicle

Once the technician is at your location and has access to your vehicle, his first work is to confirm whether the problem of your car is due to incorrect fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the incorrect fuel in the car, and in that case, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

Signs of vehicle irregularities stated above are an indication that your vehicle has been filled with incorrect fuel. Since we have the necessary equipment and fresh fuel, we can fix that problem right away wherever you are. These three reasons should persuade you why we should serve you. First and foremost, our teams are experienced in dealing with your situation and can get you back on the road quickly. Another reason is that we ask for the same price for fresh fuel as that charged in a petrol station. And the third reason is that we take all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have enough cash with you, we will allow payments through any major debit or credit card.

Other Services

Did you Know

You might also like to find out if we offer other services apart from solving the problem of incorrect fuel.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems throughout the day, they will have a tank full of contaminated fuel they need to get rid of. You aren’t permitted to dump such things nowadays as it will contaminate waterways and have a harmful effect on the environment, and may even contaminate the local water supply. But we can deal with it for you since we have the best tools, and we are certified by the Environment Agency to do so.

Dumping contaminated fuel is a separate service we offer to our customers, either commercial or private companies. If you are a client looking for this service, all you have to do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or any other container where it is kept, and be guaranteed that we will empty them out and then get rid of the contaminated fuel in accordance with the security regulations in place.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also take note of the fact that wrong fuel is not the only problem which makes the engine run in an abnormal manner, but sometimes the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, such as damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in case of wrong fuel.

The same set of signs may also be caused by somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the incorrect fuel. It doesn't matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. As we deal with your fuel issue, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

We will arrive at your vehicle soon. If you were already growing impatient as you go through our services, you can rest be assured that we will be with you as soon as possible. Also, know that it shouldn’t take us more than thirty minutes to solve the issue, so you can be sure to continue with your journey soon.

Wrong fuel in a vehicle might also cause additional issues which include flat batteries and air locks in the fuel system. But you also don’t have to worry since we also have the equipment and abilities to utilize in sorting them out so as to let you continue with your journey.

We understand how tough it is to get over moments like this but we are grateful you contacted us. Our help extended to you means a lot to us. Not only can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.

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.
