Wrong Fuel in Car Eynsford - Petrol in Diesel Car Eynsford

It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf, at the ready for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage and put petrol in her diesel Eynsford rental car. The unfortunate lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. One more job done well in my books!

Wrong Fuel in Car Eynsford - Petrol in Diesel Car Eynsford

We fairly recently received a call about a motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his Eynsford. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the predicament before I stopped working. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was amazed by both how fast you were and your prices". As you can imagine we appeared rapidly and purged the engine after draining all the petrol from the diesel tank. When he arrived the engineer said the driver was scowling, but was satisfied after the fuel drain.

On arrival of the technician at your location

The very first task that our technician will do once he arrives at your location is to verify if the issue you reported via our customer care is correct or not - misfuelling. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the vehicle, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

If the technician learns 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 needed equipment to solve the problem. He will remove 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. You also do not have to worry if you don't have enough cash with you, we understand your situation and we will take any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

We also offer other services aside from fixing the problem of incorrect fuel

After solving the issue of wrong fuel we also help you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel. The contaminated fuel shouldn't be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by an expert in this field because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the environment. We are also professionals in this field and are certified by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to use in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

We give this as a service in itself to both commercial and private customers. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks and also a wide range of other containers, as long as we can get to them. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and dump it safely to the right regulations.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave terribly. 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 appearing 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 replaced.

You can also observe the same symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should just be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be carried out by someone who knows the appropriate place to put it.

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it's an AdBlue issue or fuel contaminated with water. 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, priming with fresh fuel. Fuel filters can be possibly broken by water contamination in your fuel. We can fix it for you.

We will arrive at your vehicle soon. If you were already growing impatient as you go through our services, you can rest be assured that we will be with you as soon as possible. Also, know that it shouldn’t take us more than 30 minutes to solve the problem, so you can be sure to continue with your journey soon.

Wrong fuel in a car might also lead to additional issues which include flat batteries and air locks in the fuel system. Still, this should not worry you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

We know how tough it is to overcome moments like this but we are pleased you contacted us. Our help extended to you means a lot to us. Not only can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.

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.
