The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!




Upon arrival

First thing our technician will do once he arrives at your vehicle is to check your car so as to verify if indeed it is the issue of wrong fuel, and if they find out that it is not, he will only ask you for an updated amount of the quoted price.

The above signs are usually an indication of incorrect 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 bring the required equipment and fresh fuel with them. There are three primary reasons why you should go for us. Our mobile mechanics are equipped with the best skills and equipment in draining out the incorrect fuel and replacing it with fresh fuel. The second reason is that we ask for the same price for fresh fuel as that priced in a gas station. And the third reason is that we allow all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have enough cash with you, we will accept payments through any major debit or credit card.

Other Services

Other than wrong fuel in a vehicle, we also offer other services related to it. You should also be familiar with them. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the proper and lawful way. Getting rid of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are accredited to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly contaminate the local water supply. Our certification from the Environment Agency makes us capable of discarding contaminated fuels the right way and legally.

Dumping contaminated fuel is a separate service we offer to our clients, either commercial or private companies. If you are a client looking for this service, all you have to do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or other container where it is kept, and be assured that we will empty them out and then get rid of the contaminated fuel in accordance with the security regulations in place.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also take note of the fact that wrong fuel is not the only problem 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 unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to boost the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by somebody who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. Hence, 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.

If you are faced with either of these two issues then you shouldn't feel worried because we can solve both of these issues utilizing the same procedure we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is an issue of the incorrect fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

We'll be there very quickly. 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 thirty minutes to solve the issue, so you can be certain to carry on with your journey soon.

Wrong fuel in a vehicle might also cause 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 are aware that you went through a difficult moment today, but since you decided to give us a call, we are able to restore your peace of mind by immediately getting you back to your journey.

Wrong Fuel in Car Knatts Valley - Petrol in Diesel Car Knatts Valley

It was after 7 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there talking over the recent golf results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Knatts Valley rental by mistake. She was fairly affected apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. One more job done well in my opinion!

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 anywhere in Kent to 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.
