Wrong Fuel in Car Petteridge - Petrol in Diesel Car Petteridge

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a bright Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Petteridge. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a country lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I'd only purchased it a couple of days back right after my old car, which I had had for in excess of thirty years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant lady!


The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!




Upon arrival

Once our experienced technician reaches your location he will check out your vehicle to verify if it is truly the case of wrong fuel in the car. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will only charge you a nominal fee.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a car and if we figure out that yours is the same problem, we will fix it right away since our technicians carry the required equipment and fresh fuel with them. These three reasons should convince you why we should serve you. Our mobile technicians are equipped with the right skills and tools in draining out the wrong fuel and changing it with fresh fuel. Another reason is our charges for the fuel replacement is the same as the present price in your nearby petrol station. The last reason is the means of payment. We allow other forms of payment like credit or debit cards if in case you don't have cash with you.

Other Services

You should also learn that other than fixing your car with incorrect fuel, we provide other services related to fuel. To name one is disposing of the contaminated fuel the proper and lawful way. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not permitted to anyone unless you are authorized to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could degrade the environment and possibly contaminate the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not only accredited by the Environment Agency but also have the best devices for it.

If you are a commercial or private customer in need of safe disposal of contaminated fuel, then you can rest assured that you are also in the ideal place. As long as we have access to its fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or containers, we can properly get rid of the contaminated liquids at the designed locations.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Aside from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you should also suspect it. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as irreparable damage to the fuel filters.

.Addition of AdBlue straight into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes same symptoms. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the vehicle.

Whether it is the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can solve it using the same process of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we usually use to solve the matter of wrong fuel in a car. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. As we deal with your fuel trouble, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Be prepared to get back on the road soon

We always try to solve the problem within the shortest time possible so you don’t stay on the road for over 30 minutes. As our mobile technician carries out the job, learn about our other services as you wait. We promise to get you on your way as soon as possible.

In some instances, wrong fuel in a vehicle can cause additional problems such as a flat battery and the existence of air in the fuel system. But our competent technicians also have the tools and abilities to put everything right and get you on your way.

So, if you were feeling any kind of stress because of the incorrect fuel issue, now you can feel relieved like nothing had happened and be ready to resume your journey.

A gentleman had conked out just near a street. His Petteridge engine had stopped operating and he had no clue what was faulty until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got very little sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.

The following is a list of typical wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Loss in engine power

  • Excessive smoke

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.

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and I was en route to help an old lady who had put petrol in her diesel Petteridge. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down along a rural road on route to see her godchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I'd just purchased it a short while ago right after my other one, which I'd used for more than 30 years, finally died on me". I finished the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious lady!
