Wrong Fuel in Car North Halling - Petrol in Diesel Car North Halling

It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the next job for the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel North Halling lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we could get to the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and less worried. A fuel drain done well in my mind!

On arrival of the mechanic at your car

Once the mechanic is with you and has access to your car, his first work is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to wrong fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service linked to the incorrect fuel in the vehicle, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

If, as it is in most situations, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is completely equipped and experienced to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the car with the correct type of fuel. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the current pump price. We are very considerate when it’s time to make the payment, we understand this is an emergency situation for you so we don't insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Other Services

Did you Know

You might be wondering how else we might be of assistance to you.

Once our mobile mechanic has emptied out the wrong fuel, they have a full tank of contaminated fuel which must be disposed of. These days, such fuel should be discarded correctly since pouring it out might contaminate the environment and the local water supply. We are fully equipped, and Environment Agency certified to securely dump contaminated fuel.

Disposing of the contaminated fuel is a totally different service that we provide to our private and commercial clients at some fee. All you have to do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it does not matter whether it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or container since we can get to it and get rid of it properly.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Besides wrong fuel, water can also cause similar symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, like damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in case of wrong fuel.

AdBlue if added wrongly it can also exhibit the same signs in your car. 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. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this process tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

Still, there's no need to panic. Whatever engine problem you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can surely help you. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel. Other than 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 ready 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 more than 30 minutes. So try having our services as our mobile mechanic tries to deal with your issue. We try to guarantee you that you will be back on the road after a very short time.

Wrong fuel in a car might also cause additional issues which include flat batteries and air locks in the fuel system. But you also don’t need to worry since we also have the tools and skills to use in sorting them out so as to let you continue with your journey.

We are aware that you went through a difficult moment today, but since you decided to contact us, we are able to restore your peace of mind by quickly getting you back to your journey.

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.
