Wrong Fuel in Car Iwade - Petrol in Diesel Car Iwade

He decided to top up before proceeding on to the nearby recreation park . "I put unleaded instead of diesel which probably wasn't a smart start to our holiday break."

Upon arrival

First thing our technician will do once he reaches your vehicle is to assess your car so as to verify if indeed it is the problem of incorrect fuel, and if they find out that it is not, he will just charge you an updated amount of the quoted price.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of wrong fuel in a vehicle and if we find out that yours is the same issue, we will fix it straight away since our mechanics carry the necessary equipment and fresh fuel with them. These three reasons should convince you why we should serve you. The first reason is that we have the skills to empty out the incorrect fuel and change it out with the right fuel. The second reason is that we charge the same price for fresh fuel as that priced in a petrol station. And the third reason is that we accept all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have sufficient cash with you, we will accept payments via any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

Other than incorrect fuel in the car, we also offer other services associated with it. You should also know about them. To name one is disposing of the contaminated fuel the right and legal way. This is because your average mechanic is not authorized to do it these days because it can quickly damage the environment and even contaminate the local water supply. Our accreditation from the Environment Agency makes us capable of discarding contaminated fuels the proper way and legally.

Getting rid of the contaminated fuel is a different service that we provide to our private and commercial clients at some fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given areas, we can quickly get rid of contaminated fuels safely.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

There are other causes of engine problems aside from filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause very similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, a lot of smoke and stalling. This is a serious problem that can totally cause harm to the fuel filters.

Yet another thing which can cause same signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your car behave abnormally. 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 you don't have to fret since we can fix both problems for you by using the same procedure used in solving the problem of wrong fuel. We are always there to fix your vehicle and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the incorrect fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

You will soon get back on the road

Now it’s time to get you moving again, our mobile technician should almost be done by now if he’s been busy working on your vehicle while you were finding out who we are and what we do. We usually take about thirty minutes to solve the issue and enable our clients to hit the road again.

In some situations, wrong fuel in a car can lead to additional problems such as a flat battery and the presence of air in the fuel system. But our competent technicians also have the equipment and abilities to put everything right and get you on your way.

Thank you for calling us. By doing so, we were hopefully able to handle your concern of wrong fuel and enabled you to get back on the road with all the stress gone.

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.
