Wrong Fuel in Car Harbourland - Petrol in Diesel Car Harbourland

I'm certainly not too hot for carrying out work weekends, and last week was the same. I'd just left the family following a lovely roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was off to help a man after he had put the incorrect fuel in his Harbourland. He was stationed nearby so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I arrived behind the car and got out he said to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my attention on other considerations and failed to ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created any kind of problems by running it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be problems and that also I'd get the fuel drained as soon as possible. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and then another delighted motorist could carry on with his traveling without the need for difficulty. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make earning a living on weekends a little easier in my opinion!


The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!




When we get to your location

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

The above symptoms are usually an indication of wrong fuel in a vehicle and if we find out that yours is the same problem, we will deal with it right away since our technicians carry the essential equipment and fresh fuel with them. These three reasons should persuade you why we should serve you. The first reason is that we have the skills to empty out the incorrect fuel and change it out with the right fuel. Another reason is that we ask for the same price for fresh fuel as that priced in a petrol station. And the third reason is that we accept all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have sufficient cash with you, we will take payments through any major debit or credit card.

Other Services

Are you aware?

You may be interested to find out the other services we provide too.

At the end of the day, our technician will be carrying a tank-full of contaminated fuel they have drained from a few cars that will need to be disposed of. You aren’t allowed to pour such things these days as it will pollute waterways and have a harmful impact on the environment, and may even pollute the local water supply. We are Environmental Agency Certified and have the necessary expertise and equipment to get rid of contaminated fuel.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we deliver to commercial and private customers at a fee. As long as we have access to its fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or containers, we can properly dispose of the contaminated liquids at the designed places.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will start to be shown by your engine. It will make it exhibit the same symptoms as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be affected. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

Yet another thing which can cause same signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by someone who has no know-how 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 instead of being added directly to the fuel.

Still, there's no need to panic. 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 replace them on the spot. You don't have to call for another service provider to do that.

Be prepared to get back on the road soon

We always try to deal with the problem within the shortest time possible so you don’t stay on the road for over 30 minutes. So try going through our services as our mobile mechanic tries to solve your issue. We try to guarantee you that you will be back on the road after a very short time.

Our highly skilled technicians also have the tools and know-how to help you solve other problems resulting from incorrect fuel, which include: flat battery and air locks in the fuel system, so you won’t be stranded on the road because of them.

It is our hope that regardless of the traumatic experience you have had today we have reduced the inconvenience you experienced and have managed to put you back on the road and on your way to where you need to be.

I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only just purchased it a few days ago right after my other one, which I had used for about twenty five years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious woman!

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.
