Wrong Fuel in Car Cross Keys - Petrol in Diesel Car Cross Keys

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Wednesday and I was on the way to help an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel Cross Keys. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and pulled up in a country road on route to see her family. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a week ago right after my old car, which I'd had for about twenty five years, inevitably died". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a lovely lady!

On arrival of the mechanic at your car

The first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your place is to verify if the issue you reported via our customer care is correct or not - misfuelling. If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in a vehicle. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

The above signs are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a car and if we find out that yours is the same problem, we will deal with it straight away since our technicians carry the required equipment and fresh fuel with them. There are three major reasons why you should go for us. Our mobile technicians are equipped with the best skills and equipment in draining out the incorrect fuel and changing it with fresh fuel. Another reason is that we ask for the similar price for fresh fuel as that priced in a service station. And the third reason is that we take all types of payment, hence if you don’t have enough cash with you, we will take payments through any major credit or debit card.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle isn’t the only cause of engine problems. Such signs as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. This is a serious problem that can totally deteriorate the fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to improve the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by someone who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

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. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters destroyed by water.

Other Services

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 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.

A customer driving nearby phoned us shortly after she managed to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Cross Keys and, like many people before her, thought that she would be able to simply fill up the tank with diesel and it would be alright. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she came to the the front of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed in an hour while she was working. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely happy you sorted my vehicle."
