Wrong Fuel in Car Shorne - Petrol in Diesel Car Shorne

A fairly alarmed motorist called us from the Total filling station to advise us that he had put unleaded in his diesel Shorne; he wasn't quite certain how he'd done it. We told him it was not a worry and soon had our specialist with him to clean the incorrect fuel from his vehicle. Having taken out the contaminated fuel, he was shortly back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the person who came to undertake the fuel drain was especially nice - he didn't make me feel a fool."

Upon arrival

Upon arrival, our competent technician will first check your car to guarantee that it is the issue of incorrect fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will only ask you for a nominal amount.

If, as it is in most situations, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is fully equipped and knowledgeable to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct type of fuel. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just charge the present pump prices. We are quite considerate when it’s time to make the payment, we understand this is an emergency situation for you so we do not insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should also pay attention to the fact that wrong fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but at times the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, such as damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in case of wrong fuel.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also exhibit such signs when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

Whether it is 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 usually use to solve the matter of incorrect fuel in a car. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. As we deal with your fuel issue, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Other Services

Are you aware that we offer other services too?

We also offer other services to our customers after handling the problem of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel.

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.
