Wrong Fuel in Car Chilham - Petrol in Diesel Car Chilham

A young lady had conked out on a road, having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was weeping and very distressed as she had put £55 petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we tried to sooth her as best we could, reassuring her that it would be fine. By the time we arrived with her she was no longer disrupted and was quite interested in watching our technician carry out the fuel drain on her Chilham. Soon after she said: "My vehicle is akin to my child, I only recently purchased it and it genuinely horrified me that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm happy that it was so very easily repairable."


The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!




Upon our arrival

Once our mobile technician arrives, he will assess the situation before taking any action. In the rare case that the problem isn’t wrong fuel in your car, they will know this before doing any more work, and only a nominal call out charge will be made.

If our technician finds out that it is indeed the issue of wrong fuel, he will start solving it right away since he will have fresh fuel as well as the necessary tools with him. He will immediately remove mixed fuel and then replace it with fresh fuel, and we won’t charge you extra on the fresh fuel. You also don't need to worry if you don't have enough cash with you, we understand your situation and we will take any major debit or credit card.

Other Services

Are you aware?

You might also wish to know if we offer other services aside from dealing with the problem 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. Nowadays, there is a serious problem that such fuel could severely damage the environment or even contaminate the water supply so you are not allowed to casually pour it anywhere. We are completely equipped, and Environment Agency certified to safely dump contaminated fuel.

It is also a service that we offer separately to commercial and private customers at a fee. All you need to do is grant us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or other container, we will drain it. We subsequently cart away the contaminated liquids and properly dispose of them according to the set procedures and regulations.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

You should also pay attention to the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but at times the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But you must also remember that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

AdBlue if added incorrectly it can also exhibit the same signs in your car. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. However, 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 not good for the engine.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your car. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

You will be back on the road soon

We won't let you be on the road for too long as we always try to complete our job within half an hour. So try having our services as our mobile mechanic tries to handle your problem. We promise to get you on your way as soon as possible.

Often wrong fuel in a vehicle can also result in many more issues, like the presence of air in the fuel system or a flat battery. But our experts have all the abilities and tools to put it all right and get you back on the road.

Thus, if you were feeling any kind of stress due to the incorrect fuel issue, now you can feel relieved like nothing had happened and be ready to resume your journey.

Wrong Fuel in Car Chilham - Petrol in Diesel Car Chilham

This really was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was pretty uneventful thus far, and me and Mark were loafing about looking through some old magazines. This was an uncommon calm hour. Actually it was so peaceful that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The person said: "I have completed my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my Chilham by mistake". I instructed him to inform us just where the car was located and we headed out, reaching him under half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. As we were returning home we saw two young ladies on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. As a result we got out and helped them change it, to their delight.

I had a perfect afternoon golfing during my off day and felt pleased with myself the next day as I was en route to assist a young family vacationing. They broken down after filling petrol into their Chilham, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and laughed while I heard to the girl telling off her spouse for being so confused. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this happens regularly and that it is nothing at all to stress about, and yet he still had an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.
