Wrong Fuel in Car Claypits - Petrol in Diesel Car Claypits

A customer living nearby contacted us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Claypits and, like plenty before her, imagined that she would be able to simply fill up her vehicle with diesel and it would run okay. The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she came to the entrance of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted in an hour while she was in the office. She came out soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm very pleased you sorted my vehicle."

Upon our arrival

The first thing the mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to check the problem. If in the rare occasion he discovers that the problem is not a case of having the incorrect kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the vehicle and you will only be charged a nominal call out charge.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a vehicle and if we find out that yours is the same problem, we will fix it straight away since our mechanics bring the essential equipment and fresh fuel with them. You should choose us because of these three reasons. First of all, our teams are competent in handling your situation and can get you back on the road in no time. One other reason is our prices for the fuel replacement is the same as the current price in your nearby petrol station. The last reason is the method of payment. We take other kinds of payment like debit or credit cards if in case you don't have cash with you.

Other Services

You should also learn that aside from fixing your vehicle with incorrect fuel, we deliver other services linked to fuel. For instance, we do help our customers get rid of contaminated fuel. Getting rid of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are accredited to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly pollute the local water supply. Our certification from the Environment Agency makes us capable of disposing contaminated fuels the appropriate way and legally.

It is also a service that we offer separately to commercial and private customers at a fee. We have the ability to drain many types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are located. We can then get rid of the contaminated liquids, and dump them securely to the relevant regulations.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will start to be shown by your engine. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be observed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be changed.

One more thing which can cause similar symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by somebody who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. Therefore, it should just be used by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, just like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

So, today has been a bit of a headache, but hopefully, we have reduced the pain and stress, and got you back on your way as soon as possible.

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.

A man called us from his house on a road. He said, "My vehicle (a Claypits) is not starting and is generating very bad sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
