Wrong Fuel in Car West Malling - Petrol in Diesel Car West Malling

This was what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about sunrise and noone was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful so far, and me and Ryan were sitting around perusing a few old newspapers. That was an uncommon restful moment. Actually it was indeed that calm that when the telephone inevitably rang I jumped! The voice on the other end stated: "I have only just concluded my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in the diesel West Malling by mistake". I got him to tell us where the vehicle was and we left, ending up under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the car and he said thanks for coming out so quickly. While we were returning to the depot we saw two young women at the edge of the road who seemed like they suffered a puncture. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!




On arrival of the mechanic at your car

Once the technician is at your location and has access to your car, his first work 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.

If our technician discovers that it is indeed the issue of incorrect fuel, he will start solving it quickly since he will have fresh fuel as well as the required tools with him. He will remove the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it 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 know your situation and hence there is no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

Other Services

You should also know that apart from dealing with your vehicle with incorrect fuel, we deliver other services linked to fuel. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the proper and legal way. This is because your average mechanic is not permitted to do it these days because it can quickly damage the environment and even pollute the local water supply. Not only we are certified by the Environment Agency, we also have the appropriate tools for disposing contaminated fuel.

To our customers in the private or commercial field, we offer this service of discarding contaminated fuel separately. If you are a customer looking for this service, all you must do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or any other container where it is kept, and be assured that we will empty them out and then get rid of the contaminated fuel in accordance with the safety regulations in place.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

You should know that incorrect fuel is not the only problem which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your car produce lots of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But you must also remember that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also show such signs when someone puts AdBlue straight into the vehicle’s fuel tank. This can be done so through adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

But don’t fret as regardless of whether it is a problem of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still able to help you. We can get you back to your journey after we do the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel. Fuel filters can be possibly damaged by water contamination in your fuel. We can fix it for you.

You will be back on the road soon

Don't fret about staying stuck on the road for long since we always try our very best to complete the job within 30 minutes. As our mobile mechanic accomplishes the job, check out our other services as you wait. We try to guarantee you that you will be back on the road after a very short time.

In some instances, having the wrong fuel in the system may cause other troubles with the car such as a flat battery or air locks. Still, this should not concern you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

We understand how hard it is to overcome moments like this but we are pleased you contacted us. Our help extended to you means much to us. Not only can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.

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.

A fairly concerned driver called us from the Texaco petrol station to inform us that he put unleaded in to his diesel West Malling; he wasn't really sure how he'd managed to do it. We informed him it was no concern and before long had our technician with him to clean the contaminated fuel from his vehicle. Having taken out the wrong fuel, he was swiftly back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the guy who appeared to undertake the fuel drain was very excellent - he didn't make me look foolish."
