Wrong Fuel Windhill
If you had driven the car for a long distance after pumping the wrong fuel in it, that should not worry you. The great news is that contrary to what you might believe, you might not have caused any substantial damage. The same applies if your car or truck has started sputtering, smoking or lacking power. It sounds incredible but even when your vehicle sounds like it is on its last kicks, it can be restored back to its raving healthy self quickly. For this to happen, however, it must be resolved by the right person, with the appropriate tools, and experience.
The ideal thing to do is to give us a call instantly. Our friendly and ready- to- help operators are always willing to get your call. Just like any other typical emergency call, you'll be required to answer a couple of questions to bring us up to speed with what has happened and then a fixed charge for the solution will be quoted. If it should happen that you have no cash at hand and are far from any ATM, have no fear. As long as you have any major credit or debit card, you will be back on the road within no time.
There are two main reasons why you must call us. Firstly, our mobile mechanics are properly trained in how to securely and correctly use their tools to fix your car. Furthermore, they are maestros at their work so you can anticipate nothing short of superb services. Contact us, agree the cost and you will be meeting the mobile mechanics closest to you shortly. It is worthy to note and keep in mind that the mechanics will be coping with highly combustible substances so it is imperative for both parties to be in the know to avoid ruining the car.
Our mechanics are based country-wide so one will never be too far away, and we always aim to have someone with you in under an hour. Whilst you are waiting, it is important to keep in mind some simple roadside safety tips to keep you and your passengers safe and secure. Hopefully, you have found a safe spot to pull off the road. Get out from the vehicle through the nearside door and find the perfect place to position yourself in situations where the vehicle breaks down in the middle of the road. If you do have a warning triangle with you, put it a good fifty metres behind the vehicle to give oncoming drivers time to see you and react. Use the nearside door; this is true particularly when leaving a damaged vehicle stuck in the middle of a busy road. If you have a pet or pets in a car, they are best left there for their own safety, as well as the safety of others.

Getting you going again
Once our mechanic arrives, they will make certain everybody, and everything is as secure as possible first. They will then start the process of draining the wrong fuel from your vehicle. As well as the fuel tanks itself, if the car has been driven, it will be necessary to drain all the fuel lines and possibly even clean or change the fuel filter. Our mechanic will have the skills and all the equipment to do this for you and will generally get you on your way within about half an hour.
After draining and cleaning your car's fuel system, our technician can even provide you with fuel enough to get you to the nearest pumping station. To play fair, the price we'll charge for the new fuel we provide is equal to the present forecourt prices. What about a drained battery? Our mechanic can help you resolve that problem as well. Their priority is to get you back on the road as quickly and safely as possible and they will never leave you until that is done. At times, you get paranoid and think you have added the wrong fuel to your car's engine and actually did not. We will then only make a moderate call out charge.
Other Fuel Services
A lot of people aren't aware that we also deliver other related services. As easy as it may seem, getting rid of contaminated fuel requires a long process. The Environment Agency has really strict rules on the matter, and you have to be approved by, and registered with them before you can lawfully get rid of contaminated fuel. Our removal and disposal services aren't limited to private individuals, we also cater to commercial institutions. Whether you have one container of contaminated fuel, a trailer load or a fixed big capacity tank, as long as we can access it, we can safely and legally remove and dispose of the contaminated fuel for you.
We also resolve other fuel contamination issues such as the presence of water in your car's fuel system and AdBlue inadvertently poured straight into the fuel tank. AdBlue helps diesel engines to run cleaner by cleaning out emissions. Nevertheless, it should only be added in the appropriate way if it is to work efficiently. But nowadays, there are lots of people inadvertently putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank.
It doesn't matter if it is AdBlue or water, our technicians are professionals in taking out the wrong mixture that has been added to your fuel tank.
24/7 South Yorkshire Misfuel Service
If you put the wrong fuel in your vehicle, bear in mind that we are adequately qualified, we have a fast response time, and we are fairly reasonable. So don't let it stress you in any way at all. You can be certain that we are at your disposal to make sure that you have an event less drive home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Windhill - Petrol in Diesel Car Windhill
Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Wednesday and I was en route to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel Windhill. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up on a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location in the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she said to me, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only purchased it a couple of days ago after my previous one, which I used for about twenty years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant woman!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Windhill - Petrol in Diesel Windhill
It truly was what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to dawn and nobody was about. It was fairly dead thus far, and me and Paul were loafing around reading several old papers. This was an unusual restful hour. Actually it was that tranquil that the moment the phone rang it made me start! The voice stated: "I have just concluded my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in a Windhill". I instructed him to tell us where the vehicle was and we set off, arriving only half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us for arriving so promptly. As we were returning home we found two women at the edge of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, to their elation.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Call us to come out anywhere in South Yorkshire 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.
