And if he finds out that it is not the issue of wrong fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of wrong fuel in a car.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave badly. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be noticed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

You can also observe the same symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's exactly why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If added manually, this should be carried out by someone who knows the correct place to put it.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, just like in the case of filling your tank with the incorrect fuel. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised 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 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.
