Wrong Fuel in Car Hothfield - Petrol in Diesel Car Hothfield

Once we reach your site

Upon arrival, our experienced technician will first check out your vehicle to make sure that it is the issue of wrong fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will only ask you for a nominal amount.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our technicians have all the tools on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. You should not worry that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the present pump price. And when it is time to pay, we can take all major credit and debit cards, as we understand you may not have enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Putting the incorrect fuel in your car isn’t the only reason for engine problems. The presence of water in your fuel also makes your vehicle to show similar signs, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. This is a serious problem that can completely cause harm to the fuel filters.

AdBlue if added wrongly it can also display the same symptoms in your car. 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 car rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

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. Whatever caused you to get stranded, we can help you to get back on the road. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

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.
