What to consider in case you have put incorrect fuel in car
After refueling your tank, your car may begin showing some signs but you might not be able to grasp them all.

The fact that you now are aware the signs of wrong fuel in car or have experienced it, it will help you notice the problem if it happens again in future. Engaging in mistakes like speeding, concentrating on various things and allowing the autopilot do all of it especially when driving a car that you are unfamiliar with for example a borrowed or hired vehicle is discouraged.
As mentioned earlier, there are other issues that could be the cause of your car issues other than wrong fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar bad car performance, generally ending in your vehicle breaking down. So, should you experience the above signs, then you should suspect the two.
The running of the engine is typically enhanced using a diesel system additive called AdBlue. However, it should just 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 experience incorrect AdBlue usage, especially 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 car not running smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. The good thing is that we are here to help. Our technicians are not only knowledgeable on how to solve this problem but also on how to solve the problem of wrong fuel and water contamination.
We are loaded with the required equipment and skills
You might think that handling the issues by yourself or letting your friend who has capabilities on how to solve them will save you some cash. But you are wrong considering that the above issues are very complicated and should just be solved by someone who is properly trained so as to prevent incidents such as fire caused by incorrect handling of fuel. By allowing us do so, you will be working with a team who has the appropriate skills and tools for solving the problem regardless of whether your vehicle is big or small.
Correct Disposal
We also dispose of contaminated fuel for private individuals and businesses at a charge aside from the fact that we provide it alongside solution to wrong fuel. All we ask from our customers who request us to drain, store or dispose of the contaminated oil is that they give us complete 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.
You might have reported the wrong fuel or contaminated fuel in your car, but our mechanics still have to examine and make sure. If they find out that it is not, they will inform you and then charge a small call-out fee.
How long does it take to drain the incorrect fuel
Don't worry about hanging around for ages once our technician arrives there. On average, you will be on your way, and getting on with your day in about thirty minutes.
By the time you are back driving your vehicle, you would have realized that having the wrong fuel in your car is not that disastrous at all and we thank you for allowing us to lend a helping hand.

Tales from our own Wheldale team:
Wrong Fuel in Car Wheldale - Petrol in Diesel Car Wheldale
Just had a great night of sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Sunday and I was en route to assist an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel Wheldale. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded on a country road en route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd just bought it a few days ago right after my other one, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious lady!

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been quite quiet until now, and me and Brian were relaxing browsing a few old papers. It was an unusual restful moment. It was so peaceful that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The person on the other end explained: "I concluded my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in the Wheldale". I told him to let us know where exactly he was situated and we set off, ending up less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned from the car. He said thanks a lot for getting there so promptly. As we were heading back home we saw two girls on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. As a result we stopped to change it, to their delight.
