Wrong Fuel in Car Laycock - Petrol in Diesel Car Laycock
Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Wednesday and we were off to help an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel Laycock. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and broken down in a rural lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I popped her location in the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I got to the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she said, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel since I had only bought it a short while back after my previous one, which I had owned for in excess of thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant lady!
What to look for if you have put wrong fuel in car
The signs of incorrect fuel are evident, but in most cases you might not be able to observe all of them. In the event your engine starts sputtering, or if you start seeing lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, or if your vehicle starts losing power regardless of how much you press the accelerator, or if your vehicle comes to a halt, then you can suspect that you have put the wrong fuel in your vehicle.
Now that you know the indications of wrong fuel in a vehicle, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more careful in future and be certain of not making the mistake. You should avoid being in a hurry, not concentrating when you are on autopilot, and being in a car you are borrowing or hiring so as to avoid experiencing the same mistake.
You should also know that wrong fuel is not the only problem that can cause your vehicle to show the aforementioned indications. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your vehicle not work efficiently and eventually stop, no matter the type of fuel utilized. So, in case you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.
AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine run with less pollution. But it can only be utilized by people who know how to use it properly. Otherwise, it may end up causing problems to your vehicle. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to experience wrong AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the procedure.
Just like when a car has incorrect fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to run smoothly and eventually lead to the vehicle to stop. The good thing is that we are here to help. Our technicians are experts in this area too in addition to issues dealing with water contamination and incorrect fuel in the car.
Diesel or petrol being very flammable should be handled by a professional with the proper tools. Otherwise, the fuel may ignite and what initially was easy to contain may turn into a problem. You can handle the issue yourself or work with a friend to do it so as to save money, but you are advised to hire an expert so as to avoid further fuel related problem.
Besides, our technicians are situated throughout the place, and they have all the skill sets and expertise, and will deal with the problem for you quickly and at an affordable price.
Correct Disposal
Correct disposal of contaminated fuel is not only part of the incorrect fuel service but in addition a service that we deliver to companies and private individuals separately. All we ask from our customers who request us to drain, store or dispose of the contaminated oil is that they grant us full access to the containers and whether they are fixed storage containers, mobile bowsers or a combination of tanks, they can trust us to do it in an appropriate and eco-friendly way.
In the unlikely event that wrong fuel or contaminated fuel isn't the problem, our trained technician will be able to identify that, and the likely cause and we will just make a nominal call out fee, not the originally quoted price.
Will it take long

Wrong Fuel in Car Laycock - Petrol in Diesel Car Laycock
It was about five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated talking about the weekend's golf results, prepared for the next job for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Laycock rental car in error. She was quite affected apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, as it was just a short distance from us, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. Yet another fuel drain well done in my books!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Laycock - Fuel Rescue Laycock
We a few weeks ago got a call about a young man who put the incorrect fuel in his Laycock. He had ground to a halt on the road. "After adding petrol in my diesel car I didn't realize the predicament until I ground to a halt. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it functioning . I was impressed due to both your speed and your pricing". As you can imagine we got there rapidly and purged the engine after draining the unleaded from the diesel tank. The client was over the moon by the time we finished and he went off completely happy.
