Wrong Fuel in Car Durlock - Petrol in Diesel Car Durlock

This really was the night shift. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It was quite uneventful until now, and Mark and I were sitting around looking at several old articles. It was an uncommon restful hour. Actually it was in fact so quiet that when the phone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer explained: "I have ended my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in a Durlock". We told him to let us know where exactly he was located and we headed out, arriving no more than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine. He said thanks for arriving so rapidly. As we were returning home we found two women on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. So we got out to change it, to their elation.

Upon arrival

Once our experienced technician arrives at your location he will check out your vehicle to confirm if it is really the case of incorrect fuel in the vehicle. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will only ask you for a minimal cost.

If our technician finds out that it is indeed the issue of wrong fuel, he will start solving it right away since he will have fresh fuel as well as the needed equipment with him. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and then replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the fuel station. We are aware that you might not be having enough money with you, but you don’t need to worry since we take any common debit or credit card thus you can use them to pay.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

You should also pay attention to the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only problem which makes the engine run in an abnormal manner, but at times the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as irreparable damage to the fuel filters.

Yet another thing which can cause same symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. 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 only be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

But don’t fret as regardless of whether it is a matter of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still able to help you. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, replacing with fresh fuel.

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.
