Wrong Fuel in Car Dover - Petrol in Diesel Car Dover

Last monday a youngster contacted us after his Dover broke down along the road. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and drove to the road before needing to give up. It was early in the morning and our engineer, who stays locally, got to him in about a quarter hour. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car.

After arrival

Upon arrival, our competent technician will first inspect your car to ensure that it is the problem of incorrect fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will just charge you a minimal amount.

If the technician finds out that it is really the case of wrong fuel then he will start fixing it quickly as he already has the fresh fuel and the required equipment to solve the problem. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and refill the tank with fresh fuel priced the same as that charged in the fuel station. You also don't have to fret if you don't have enough money with you, we understand your situation and we will take any major debit or credit card.

Other Services

You should also know that other than dealing with your car with incorrect fuel, we offer other services linked to fuel. For instance, we do help our clients dispose of contaminated fuel. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not permitted to anyone unless you are accredited to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly contaminate the local water supply. Not only we are certified by the Environment Agency, we also have the right devices for discarding contaminated fuel.

It is also a service that we give separately to commercial and private customers at a fee. We have the capacity 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 safely to the relevant regulations.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you should also suspect it. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

Yet another thing which can cause same symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also happen if it is used by somebody who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

Whether it is the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can solve it using similar procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the matter of wrong fuel in a car. Whatever caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. As we deal with your fuel trouble, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

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.
