Wrong Fuel in Car Exted - Petrol in Diesel Car Exted

I had enjoyed a terrific evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I set off to help a young couple holidaying. They had broken down after adding petrol in their Exted, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and laughed while I listened to the woman telling her man off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place constantly and that it's truly nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyways, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would never ever live it down!

Once we arrive

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile technicians, he will first assess the situation before doing anything. And if he finds out that it is not the problem of incorrect fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will only be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of wrong fuel in a car.

If our technician finds out that it is indeed the problem of incorrect fuel, he will start solving it right away since he will have fresh fuel as well as the required equipment with him. He will take away the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station. We also take all major debit and credit cards as we understand your situation and hence there is no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Putting the wrong fuel in your car isn’t the only cause of engine problems. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause very similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

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

Still, there's no need to worry. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can absolutely help you. We can get you back to your journey after we do the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, replacing with fresh fuel. Besides that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can change them out on the spot. You don't have to call for another company to do that.

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.

• 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.
