The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!




On getting to your vehicle

First thing the mobile technician will do when he reaches you is to check the problem. And if he discovers that it is not the problem of incorrect fuel in the car, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of incorrect fuel in a car.

Our technician will be bringing the required equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he learns that it is really the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will quickly remove mixed fuel and then replace it with fresh fuel, and we won’t charge you extra on the fresh fuel. We also accept all major debit and credit cards as we understand your situation and hence there is no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

Other Services

We also deliver other services apart from fixing the problem of wrong fuel

We also offer other services to our customers after dealing with the issue of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Under no circumstance should you try to get rid of it yourself since you can quickly affect the environment or pollute the nearest water supply. You should allow us to do it for you since we are not only certified by the Environment Agency but also capable of doing it in the proper way, both legally and safely.

Getting rid of the contaminated fuel is also a service of its own which we deliver to private and commercial clients. If you have a private company and in need of our service, we only need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other kinds of container. We will then do the rest of the work in accordance to the environmental law specified.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also take note of the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but often the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as irreparable damage to the fuel filters.

Yet another thing which can cause same symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Therefore, it should just be used by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank instead of being added directly to the fuel.

If you are faced with either of these two problems then you shouldn't feel worried because we can solve both of these issues using similar process we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. So, if your problem is wrong fuel, water contaminated fuel, damaged fuel filters or AdBlue into the incorrect tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus allowing you to continue with your journey.

Getting You moving

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 learning who we are and what we do. For most situations, our standard time for getting our customers sorted and back on the road is around 30 minutes.

Wrong fuel in a vehicle might also lead to additional problems which include flat batteries and air locks in the fuel system. Still, this should not concern you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

We know how difficult it is to get over moments like this but we are happy you called us. Our help extended to you means a lot to us. Not only can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.

Wrong Fuel in Car Sinkhurst Green - Petrol in Diesel Car Sinkhurst Green

It was close to seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting talking over the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station and filled petrol in her diesel Sinkhurst Green hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure position and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we could get to the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and much less concerned. A misfuel correction well done in my opinion!

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.
