Getting you going again

Once our mechanic arrives, they will make sure everybody, and everything is as secure as possible first. After making certain everyone is safe, he will then proceed to emptying the wrong fuel added to your engine. If the car has been through a lengthy journey, then emptying the fuel lines and cleaning or replacing the fuel filter may be needed in addition to only draining the tank alone. Because our mechanic is the very best in what he does, it would only take him around 30 minutes to complete the whole procedure.

Not sure if you have put the wrong fuel in your vehicle? Don't worry, our mechanic will inspect your car promptly to confirm it, and if you haven't, we are going to just ask you for a moderate price. But if you have pumped the wrong fuel in your car, he will drain and flash its fuel system. He will then refuel it since he'll be taking enough fuel with him and you won't be surprised since he'll just charge you a forecourt price for the new fuel. Our technician will be taking all the equipment with him hence even though you have run low on battery by starting your car again and again, he will also be able to help you. Because our main priority is to make sure that you are well on your way as fast and as safely as possible, you should never have to worry about being left at the side of the road.

Other Fuel Services

After cleaning out the incorrect fuel in car, we dump the fuel in an eco-friendly way because we believe in doing right by all. Most people, however, do not know that we do and that it is not an easy task. It is not easy to do so as you must be able to follow the tight rules set by the Environment Agency and should be certified by them before you can legally get rid of it. This service is readily accessible to both private and commercial clients. We dispose of all the fuel using large capacity tanks, trailer loads, and containers to name but a few. You can be assured that we do all this securely and legally.

Moreover, we are well-versed in other issues that may negatively influence the usual performance of your car's fuel system. An example is if you add any unwanted liquid, say water that may contaminate the fuel in the system. Despite AdBlue being the most preferred diesel emission cleaner, it wouldn't be a good idea to add it to the fuel system as it may bring about engine malfunction. To avoid all this, it's very recommended to have an expert who knows what to do and have you running again.

In case any of these liquids, water, and AdBlue, find their way into your fuel system, be sure that our team of professionals with unequaled skills will remedy the situation.

Wrong Fuel in Car Edenthorpe - Petrol in Diesel Car Edenthorpe

A lady with a full car of kids in her diesel Edenthorpe had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Co Op filling station. She called us weeping and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that everything would be alright and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

It truly was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was about. It had been fairly uneventful until now, and Ray and I were sitting about browsing several old newspapers. It was an uncommon tranquil time. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that when the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I've ended my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel Edenthorpe by mistake". I got him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was and we left, getting to him half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back to the depot we noticed two ladies on the edge of the street who seemed to have a puncture. So we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
