Wrong Fuel in Car Dunkirk - Petrol in Diesel Car Dunkirk

We recently had a phone call about a driver who put the wrong fuel in his Dunkirk. He had broken down on the street. "It was incredible how fast you guys were in sending a technician out to aid me after I erroneously filled my diesel car with petrol. Thank you". Naturally we arrived on the scene promptly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the petrol from the diesel tank. On arrival the fuel drainer said the client was scowling, but was satisfied after the fuel drain.

Once our mobile mechanic arrives, he will evaluate the situation before taking any action. If in the rare occasion he discovers that the problem is not a case of having the wrong kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the car and you will just be charged a minimal call out charge.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your car as usually is the case, our technicians have all the tools on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with nice clean fuel of the correct type.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

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 sometimes the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But you should also remember that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to improve the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above symptoms. AdBlue contamination can also happen if it is used by somebody who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should only be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

Whether it's the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can solve it using the same process of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the issue of wrong fuel in a car. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. As we deal with your fuel trouble, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
