Wrong Fuel in Car Oldfield - Petrol in Diesel Car Oldfield
Yesterday a gentleman called us because his Oldfield ground to a halt in the middle of the road. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel car and got so far as the street before needing to stop. It was yet early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives nearby, arrived with him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your timely response, especially at 4 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."

- Your vehicle will ultimately stop working altogether

BMW 114 West Yorkshire
Noting all of the above, I assume you'll be cautious in your next stop at the fuel station to refill. You may come back to think what caused the wrong fuel problem in the first place.
- You're in a circumstance where you are confused while in a hurry
- Not concentrating - being on autopilot
- You are using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired
Your fuel might also be contaminated with water
A sputtering engine with very low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. It does not matter whether your vehicle runs on diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to run roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also be aware of it.
In order to enhance the cleanliness of modern diesel engines exhausts today, owner uses AdBlue. The proper amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very crucial. It's typically mounted on a separate tank to avoid directly mixing to your fuel tank. If you hire someone to directly add this to your tank without knowing the right procedure, it's more likely to cause problem to your engine. You will start to notice similar symptoms mentioned above but you should not be worried about it. Here's our message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll always be your helping hand any time of the day, wherever you are".

You are thinking that by doing it by yourself or requesting a good friend who knows about cars can help you save some money. That's a mistaken belief! Our mobile mechanics on post around the place are all fully trained on all of the services we offer, whatever car it is. Not only that, they all have specialized equipment in a van for a safer and greater service to the clients. Remember, fuel is designed to ignite and shouldn't be handled by anybody who isn't fully trained to do so.
They say cheap is expensive. If you are inexperienced or you ask an inexperienced friend to cope with your problem to save expenses, it’s possible you might lose the car, instead. Bear in mind, when you call us to manage your fuel trouble, you are still needed to purchase clean fuel and cover the transport expenses. Hire us and be assured of a risk-free and cheaper procedure. We will not take advantage of your pocket, and we'll come with fresh fuel to re-fill your tank and also ask for the same price as that charged in gasoline stations. Moreover, we will help you dispose of the contaminated fuel.
Correct Disposal
In addition to helping you dispose of the contaminated fuel from your vehicle after serving you, we also provide services like properly disposing of any incorrect fuel that a private citizen or an individual may want to dispose of legally. All we ask from our customers who request us to drain, store or get rid of the contaminated oil is that they grant us complete 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.
Our mechanics will first diagnose what the problem is to be sure that it is wrong or contaminated fuel. Whenever they find out another problem, then they notify you about it and will give you the appropriate call-out charges as stated by the office.
Will it take long

Wrong Fuel in Car Oldfield - Petrol in Diesel Car Oldfield
It was close to 10 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated there talking about the weekend's sports, waiting for the seventh call for the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage and filled petrol in her diesel Oldfield rental car. She was pretty affected apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and less stressed. One more job done well in my books!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Oldfield - Fuel Rescue Oldfield
Now I am not very hot for working on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just departed the wife and kids following a lovely Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was on the way to help a gentleman who had put the wrong fuel in his Oldfield. He was only nearby hence it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and didn't grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about damage by starting it?" I explained there probably should not be any problems and also that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and thus yet another happy customer was able to continue on their trip without the need for difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and this is actually what tends to make earning a living on Sundays just a little bit easier to me!

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.

- 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.

A motorist had come to a stop on a road, just after having put petrol in her diesel car. She was sobbing and very distressed as she had put £60 of petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we attempted to cool her as well as we could, encouraging her that everything would be no problem. When we reached her she was not aggrieved any more and was quite interested in watching our engineer do the fuel drain on her Oldfield. Soon after she said: "My car is like my child, I recently purchased it and so it truly freaked me out that I had put such a large amount of wrong fuel in it. I'm glad that it was so very easily fixable."
