Wrong Fuel in Car Little Frith - Petrol in Diesel Car Little Frith

We completed a wrong fuel removal exercise on the drive of a spectacular house a few weeks ago. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to very nearly arrive at home when my car broke down." Our fuel drainer went out, despite the fact that it was fairly late at night, and completed a full fuel drain and purge on the Little Frith .

On getting to your vehicle

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile mechanics, he will first diagnose the situation before doing anything. And if he finds out that it is not the issue 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 issue of wrong 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 up with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station. We also accept all major debit and credit cards as we understand your situation and hence there's no need to be scared if you are out of cash.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should also take note of the fact that wrong fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal manner, but sometimes the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

AdBlue is a solution which is used remove toxic gases from the engine's exhaust, and if it is put in the diesel tank then it can also cause exactly the same problems. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by somebody who has no know-how 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.

Whether it's the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using the same procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the matter of wrong fuel in a car. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters destroyed by water.

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.
