Wrong Fuel in Car Tenterden - Petrol in Diesel Car Tenterden

When we reach your location

Once the mechanic is with you and has access to your car, his first job is to confirm whether the problem of your car is caused by wrong fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in the car. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your car as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the tools on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with good clean fuel of the correct type. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge a similar price as any fuel station. We are quite considerate when it’s time for you 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.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also pay attention to the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only problem which makes the engine run in an abnormal manner, but often the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as irreparable damage to the fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution used to enhance the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by someone who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. Therefore, it should only be used by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank instead of being added directly to the fuel.

But don’t worry as regardless of whether it is a matter of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still in a position to help you. Through applying the same procedure of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the issue of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road. Fuel filters can be possibly broken by water contamination in your fuel. We can fix it for you.

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.
