Wrong Fuel in Car Willington - Petrol in Diesel Car Willington

It was after ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the recent football rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station and put petrol in her diesel Willington rental car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably do happen.

When we get to your location

Once the technician is at your location and has access to your vehicle, his first work is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to wrong fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in a vehicle. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If, as it is in most cases, 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 car with the correct type of fuel. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we simply charge the present pump prices. And when it's time to pay, we can take all major debit and credit cards, as we know you may not carry enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Putting the wrong fuel in your car isn’t the only reason for engine problems. The presence of water in your fuel also makes your vehicle to show similar signs, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. This is a serious issue that can completely damage the fuel filters.

Another thing which can cause similar signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. Hence, it should just be used by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank instead of being added directly to the fuel.

Whether it's the issue of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using similar process of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the matter of incorrect fuel in a car.

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.

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.
