Wrong Fuel in Car Herne Bay - Petrol in Diesel Car Herne Bay

We completed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise near a beautiful residence a few weeks ago. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and was able to more or less reach home when my car broke down." Our technician went out, regardless that it was pretty late at night, and completed a thorough fuel drain and cleanse on the Herne Bay to everyone's satisfaction.

Once we reach your site

Once our experienced technician reaches your location he will check your car to confirm if it is truly the case of incorrect fuel in the car. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will only charge you a minimal fee.

Our technician will be carrying the required equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he discovers that it is actually the issue of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will instantly remove mixed fuel and then change it out with fresh fuel, and we won’t ask you for extra on the fresh fuel. We are aware that you might not be having enough money with you, but you don’t have to worry because we accept any common credit or debit card thus you can use them to pay.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Other than wrong fuel, water can also cause same signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you should also suspect it. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to 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 symptoms. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your car behave abnormally. Hence, it should only be used by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your car. It doesn't matter what the cause is, we can get you back 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.
