Wrong Fuel in Car Weddington - Petrol in Diesel Car Weddington

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and noone was around. It was fairly quiet up to now, and Mark and I were loafing around looking at a few old articles. It was a rare tranquil hour. Actually it was in fact that tranquil that when the telephone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the phone said: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel Weddington in error". We got him to inform us where he was and we headed out, arriving under 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the car. He thanked us for coming out so rapidly. While we were coming back home we saw two ladies at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

So what precisely do you do now?

You can be certain we are professionals in our business. So here’s our advice on what to do next:

Firstly, don’t panic. If you get stressed and flustered, you aren’t likely to be thinking straight and, in reality, this won’t help your situation. Be calm and understand that we will handle the situation.

The next point is to not think too much about your engine, especially whether it's already damaged or not. This is because in all situations of incorrect fuel we have handled we have been able to fix 99.8% effectively there and then.

Third. Be safe. You could be in a risky section of a motorway, a blind corner or on a hill. Get out of the passenger side of your vehicle and stand well back in a secure place. Also, make sure that your passengers have done the same. And if you have any pets, just lock them inside so as to make certain that they are safe and that the safety of other road users is not compromised.

Fourthly, ensure you give us a call as soon as you are safe. One of our accommodating personnel will answer your phone call and will ask you a couple of questions so we may better know how to fix your situation. The timing of your call won’t matter since we are accessible at any time of the day and night. Once you agree to the computed charges of the service, one of our mobile mechanics will be dispatched to your area to sort things out.

Upon arrival

Once our experienced technician arrives at your location he will assess your vehicle to verify if it is really the case of wrong fuel in the car. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will only charge you a nominal cost.

Our technician will be carrying the necessary equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he learns that it is really the issue of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will remove 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 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.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your car function badly. It will make it display similar signs as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be changed.

AdBlue if added improperly it can also display the same symptoms in your vehicle. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nonetheless, if this is added straight to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who knows nothing of AdBlue, the result would be bad for the engine.

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, replacing with fresh fuel. Apart from that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can change them out on the spot. You don't have to call for another company 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.

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.
