Wrong Fuel in Car Newsome - Petrol in Diesel Car Newsome
It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting there commenting on the recent golf rankings, ready for the 6th call that day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station and put petrol in her diesel Newsome lease car in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected area and, because it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain done well in my mind!
You may have strange signs in your vehicle but you are uncertain if it has connected with the presence of incorrect fuel. We have many the same cases of suspicions experienced by our clients, only for our technicians to find out a totally different problem upon arrival. For you to be sure that your vehicle is experiencing problems as a result of wrong fuel, we have come up with some of the typical signs for you. If the engine starts spluttering and begin running roughly, or if there is the production of excessive smoke resulting in the low supply of power to the vehicle making it stop then there is a high chance that you have put the wrong fuel in your car.
So in the future, regardless of whether you are unfamiliar with the vehicle or the autopilot is in control, you do not have to fear. Since you are now familiar with the signs of incorrect fuel or have encountered it, once it occurs you should be able to notice it. It would not matter if you are concentrating on the issue or not, you will just detect it.
Your fuel might also be contaminated with water
You should remember that the contamination of fuel by water is another problem that can cause similar signs described above. It will make your car behave abnormally and eventually stops regardless of whether it uses diesel or petrol thus you should also suspect it if you are in a situation of doubt.
The running of the engine is commonly improved utilizing a diesel system additive referred to as AdBlue. However, it should only be used by professionals who understand where and how to use it. Otherwise, it may end up creating 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 encounter wrong AdBlue usage, especially if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by somebody who is not aware of the procedure.
Signs of AdBlue contamination also include the car not moving smoothly and eventually stopping. Great news is we are at all times willing to help. Our technicians are not only skilled on how to handle this issue but also on how to address the problem of wrong fuel and water contamination.
The Right Kit and Know-how
You could save a few quid by doing the works alone or by your good friend that knows about cars instead of asking the professionals. You'll never be right there. All our nationwide mobile mechanics are fully trained in what is, a complicated process across a vast range of different vehicles. Not only that, they all have specialized equipment in a van for a safer and greater service to the clients. Keep in mind, fuel is designed to ignite and shouldn't be handled by anyone who isn't fully trained to do so.
Environmental Fuel Disposal
Along with helping you get rid of the contaminated fuel from your vehicle after serving you, we also provide services like properly dumping any incorrect fuel that a private citizen or an individual may want to get rid of legally. All we ask from our customers who request us to drain, store or dispose of the contaminated oil is that they give us full access to the containers and whether they are fixed storage containers, mobile tanks or a combination of tanks, they can trust us to do it in an appropriate and environmentally friendly way.
At the site, our mobile technicians' job will definitely leave you impressed with the rate of expertise they possess.

In the unlikely circumstance that wrong fuel or contaminated fuel isn't the issue, our experienced technician will be able to identify that, and the likely cause and we will only make a nominal call out charge, not the originally quoted price.

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
