Wrong Fuel in Car Snipeshill - Petrol in Diesel Car Snipeshill

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3:30am and noone was around. It was quite uneventful so far, and Paul and I were sitting about browsing a number of old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful hour. Actually it was that relaxing that the moment my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The voice on the phone told me: "I've only just concluded my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in a Snipeshill in error". I told him to inform us where he was and we left, arriving an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the motor. He thanked us for coming so promptly. While we were coming back to the office we noticed two young women on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over and helped them change it, to their delight.

When we reach your location

The first task that our technician will do once he arrives at your location is to verify if the issue you reported via our customer care is correct or not - misfuelling. If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in a vehicle. You won't be charged for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Our technician will be bringing the necessary 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 drain out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and then replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the fuel station. We are aware that you might not be carrying enough money with you, but you don’t have to worry since we accept any common debit or credit card thus you can make use of them to pay.

Other Services

Are you aware?

You might also want to know if we provide other services apart from handling the issue of incorrect fuel.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems throughout the day, they will have a tank full of contaminated fuel they have to dispose of. You aren’t permitted to pour such things nowadays as it will pollute waterways and have a dangerous effect on the environment, and may even contaminate the local water supply. We are Environmental Agency Certified and have the necessary expertise and devices to dispose of contaminated fuel.

We give this as a service in itself to both business and private clients. We have the ability to drain various types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are located. We subsequently cart away the contaminated liquids and safely get rid of them in accordance with the set procedures and regulations.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Other than wrong fuel, water can also cause similar symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you should also suspect it. But you should also remember that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

.Addition of AdBlue straight into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes similar symptoms. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it is an AdBlue problem or fuel contaminated with water. Through applying the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the problem of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road. Besides that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can change them out on the spot. You don't need to call for another provider to do that.

You will be able to continue with your journey as quickly as possible

We won't let you stay on the road for too long as we always try to finish our work within half an hour. As our mobile technician carries out the job, find out about our other services as you wait. We assure you that you will be back on the road after a very short time.

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.
