Wrong Fuel in Car Harmans Corner - Petrol in Diesel Car Harmans Corner

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Sunday and I was off to assist an older sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel Harmans Corner. I had been told she drove away from the filling station and was broken down in a country lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I arrived at the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel since I had just acquired it a few days back right after my old car, which I had for in excess of twenty years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious woman!

Upon our arrival

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile mechanics, he will first diagnose the situation before doing anything. In the rare case that the problem isn’t wrong fuel in your vehicle, they will recognize this prior to doing any more work, and only a nominal call out fee will be made.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a car and if we discover that yours is the same issue, we will deal with it immediately since our technicians bring the required equipment and fresh fuel with them. There are three primary reasons why you should go for us. The first reason is that we have the skills to empty out the wrong fuel and change it out with the right fuel. Another reason is our prices for the fuel replacement is the same as the present price in your closest petrol station. The last reason is the means of payment. We allow other forms of payment like debit or credit cards if in case you don't have money with you.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should know that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The existence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car or truck produce lots of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But you must also note that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution used to boost the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. AdBlue contamination can also happen if it is used by someone 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.

Still, there's no need to panic. Whatever engine problem you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can surely help you. By using the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the problem of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road. Additionally, we can help you replace the fuel filters damaged by water contamination so you don’t need to worry about them.

Other Services

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
