Wrong Fuel in Car Platt - Petrol in Diesel Car Platt

I am not ever that enthusiastic about doing the job Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd just left the family after a lovely roast made by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a guy because he put the incorrect petrol in his Platt. He was somewhere nearby hence I was there before long. As I drove up at the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my mind on other things and didn't grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about some problems by driving it?" I revealed generally there should not be any problems and also I'd remove the fuel immediately. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and so one more pleased motorist could continue on their traveling with no bother. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make operating on Sundays a tiny bit less painful to me!

On getting to your location

The first thing the mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to check the problem. If in the rare occasion he finds that the problem is not a case of having the wrong kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the vehicle and you will only be charged a nominal call out charge.

Our technician will be carrying the required tools and fresh fuel with him so if he finds out that it is really the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will take away the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station. You also don't have to worry if you don't have sufficient cash with you, we understand your situation and we will accept any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

Besides draining out the wrong fuel in a car, we offer other services related to that. For instance, we do help our customers dispose of contaminated fuel. This is because your average mechanic is not allowed to do it these days because it can easily degrade the environment and even pollute the local water supply. Not only we are authorized by the Environment Agency, we also have the correct equipment for getting rid of contaminated fuel.

To our customers in the private or commercial sector, we offer this service of discarding contaminated fuel separately. If you are a customer in need of this service, all you must do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or other container where it is kept, and be guaranteed that we will empty them out and then get rid of the contaminated fuel in accordance with the safety regulations in place.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

You should know that wrong fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car or truck produce a lot of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, like damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in the event of wrong fuel.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also exhibit such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

In these situations, we can provide 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. 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.

You will be able to carry on with your journey as quickly as possible

We won't let you be on the road for too long as we always make an effort to complete our job within half an hour. So try having our services as our mobile technician tries to solve your problem. We promise to get you on your way as soon as possible.

If there are any other issues related to putting wrong fuel in your vehicle, such as a flat battery or air locks in the fuel system, our properly trained technicians have the tools and abilities to put everything right and get you on your way.

It is our hope that regardless of the traumatic experience you have had today we have lessened the inconvenience you suffered and have managed to put you back on the road and on your way to where you need to be.

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.
