Wrong Fuel in Car Ditton - Petrol in Diesel Car Ditton

It was after ten pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated commenting on the recent rugby, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ditton rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very affected apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and much less concerned. Yet another job done well in my opinion!


The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!




On getting to your location

The first thing the mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to verify the problem. And if he finds out that it is not the issue of incorrect fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of incorrect fuel in a car.

Signs of vehicle problems mentioned above are an indication that your vehicle has been filled with incorrect fuel. Since we have the necessary equipment and fresh fuel, we can fix that problem right away wherever you are. You should choose us because of these three reasons. Our mobile technicians are equipped with the best skills and equipment in draining out the wrong fuel and changing it with fresh fuel. Another reason is our charges for the fuel replacement is the same as the current price in your nearest 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

Do you know that we offer other services too?

We also provide other services to our clients after dealing with the matter of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. The contaminated fuel shouldn't be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by a professional in this field because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the environment. We are professional in this field too as we are certified by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this work, both legally and safely.

This is a unique service that we offer to 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 properly dispose of them according to the set procedures and regulations.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should know that incorrect fuel is not the only problem which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car produce a lot of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, like damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in the event of wrong fuel.

You can also notice the same signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added straight away to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's the reason why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who has no knowledge of AdBlue, the outcome would be not good 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, priming with fresh fuel. Additionally, we can help you replace the fuel filters damaged by water contamination so you don’t have to worry about them.

Be prepared to get back on the road soon

We always try to solve the issue within the shortest time possible so you don’t stay on the road for over 30 minutes. As our mobile mechanic carries out the job, read about our other services as you wait. We try to guarantee you that you will be back on the road after a very short time.

Wrong fuel in the tank may perhaps lead to other troubles such as air getting into the fuel system or even a flat battery. But you also don’t have to worry since we also have the tools and skills to use in sorting them out so as to let you continue with your journey.

We are aware that you experienced a tough moment today, but since you chose to give us a call, we are able to restore your peace of mind by quickly getting you back to your journey.

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Saturday and I was on the way to help an elder woman who put petrol in her diesel Ditton. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and broken down on a rural road on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it several days ago because my previous one, which I'd used for more than 25 years, eventually died". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant woman!

The driver of a Ditton was regretful that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the road and it coughed and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel car," is what he informed us the first time he rang. To tell the truth, when he first telephoned us he said he'd check around, but he called us back shortly because our price and on-scene times were the best. Obviously, our engineer had him again doing his deliveries within the time we had quoted.

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.
