Wrong Fuel in Car Pike End - Petrol in Diesel Car Pike End

We did a fuel drain for a man whose automobile had conked out on a street because he had put petrol in his diesel car. We arrived to see the driver patiently waiting in his Pike End - he'd been catching up studying on his e-book. We quickly got rid off the incorrect fuel and he was able to continue his journey in no time. "I was impressed. Your fuel drainer was swift and cost-effective. Thank you so much."



Indicators of wrong fuel

The signs of incorrect fuel are quite evident, but in most cases you might not be able to notice all of them. Nevertheless, if you were driving, and abruptly you notice that your car is emitting excessive smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the vehicle loses power slowly regardless of how much energy you are applying on the accelerator and ultimately comes to a stop, then there is little doubt that you are dealing with a wrong fuel in your car issue.

So in the future, regardless of whether you are not familiar with the car or the autopilot is in control, you don't have to panic. Having this information, knowing symptoms of incorrect fuel in your vehicle or other issues should be easy. It would not matter if you are concentrating on the problem or not, you will just identify it.

Contamination of fuel by water also results in the above signs.

A sputtering engine with very low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also indicators of water contamination. It will make your vehicle 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.

Adblue is a diesel system additive usually put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less polluted. But it can only be used by individuals who know how to use it appropriately. Otherwise, it may end up creating problems to your car. To avoid any problems, AdBlue should be contained in a separate tank. But it is very possible to encounter wrong AdBlue usage, particularly if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by somebody who is not aware of the procedure.

Such a problem is also shown by the vehicle not moving smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Luckily, you have us. Our technicians are experts in this area too in addition to problems dealing with water contamination and wrong fuel in the vehicle.


We have the required resources and skills

Lots of people get tempted to deal with the issue on their own or seek the assistance of a good friend who they believe is trained with engines with the hope of saving the repair fee.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter

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.
