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

I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing during the weekend and was feeling cheerful the following day as I headed out to assist a new couple who were away. They broken down after putting petrol into their Townland Green, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "How could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this happens all the time and that it's truly nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel.

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

It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring! Ray and I were seated discussing the rugby, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station and filled petrol in her diesel Townland Green hire car in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from us, we could get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain done well in my opinion!

Upon arrival

Upon arrival, our experienced technician will first check out your car to ensure that it is the issue of wrong fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will only ask you for a nominal amount.

Our technician will be bringing the required equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he discovers that it is really the issue 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 up with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station. We also take all major debit and credit cards as we know your situation and hence there's no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

Other Services

Did you Know

You may be interested to discover the other services we offer too.

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. Nowadays, there is a serious problem that such fuel could significantly harm the environment or even contaminate the water supply so you are not allowed to casually pour it anywhere. We are Environmental Agency Certified and have the necessary know-how and tools to dump contaminated fuel.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is another separate service that we give to commercial and private clients at a fee. As long as we have access to its fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or containers, we can properly dispose of the contaminated liquids at the designed locations.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

There are other reasons for engine troubles besides wrong fuel in a vehicle. Such symptoms as lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

You can also observe the same symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it is an AdBlue problem or fuel contaminated with water. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel. Aside from that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can replace them on the spot. You don't need to call for another provider to do that.

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.

• 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.
