Wrong Fuel in Car Woodside - Petrol in Diesel Car Woodside
We performed a wrong fuel removal job near a spectacular residential home a few weeks ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to virtually get home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and performed a thorough fuel drain and cleanse on the Woodside to everyone's satisfaction.
You may experience strange signs in your vehicle but you are unsure if it has something to do with the presence of incorrect fuel. We have many the same cases of suspicions experienced by our customers, only for our technicians to find out a completely different problem upon arrival. To avoid any doubt, try having the following signs of the wrong fuel in your fingertip. If the engine starts spluttering and begin working 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 possibility that you have put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle.
All that said, you will most likely be more careful in future, now that you have experienced putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle. From now on, be aware of those common causes of putting the incorrect fuel in your car:
- You are in a hurry and confused on what exactly to do
- You're in autopilot mode and not checking
- Vehicle you are using is borrowed, you're not familiar with it
As stated earlier, there are other issues that could be the cause of your vehicle troubles apart from incorrect fuel. Water contamination is one of them, which causes similar bad vehicle performance, commonly ending in your car breaking down. This means that if you encounter any of the previously mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.
AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine run cleaner. It is typically administered incorrectly, as such, it is important that it is done by somebody who knows how to use it. Or else, it would cause troubles and problems to your vehicle. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided by using its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The probability of misusing AdBlue is very high especially if done by someone with no knowledge in this.
Just like when a car has wrong fuel, AdBlue also causes the car not to run smoothly and eventually lead to the vehicle to stop. The great thing is that we are here to help. Our mobile technicians are used to handling a wide range of car issues, not only water contamination or having the incorrect fuel in the car but this kind of problem too.
The Right Kit and Know-how
You could save a few quid by doing the works on your own or by your close friend that knows about cars and trucks instead of asking the experts. That's a mistaken belief! All our nationwide mobile mechanics are fully trained in what is, a complex procedure across an enormous range of different vehicles. Specialist equipment are all in the van to each of the mechanics so they can very easily access them even in remote places. Be sure to remember that fuel could ignite at any time. That's the reason it should only be handled by people with the right knowledge.
Safe and Legal Disposal
When we render our service of cleaning your engine because of incorrect fuel, it's already a package that we take better care of draining, storage and the procedure of disposing the waste fuel. It is also another service we provide businesses and private individuals. Whether you have a fixed storage tank, a mobile bowser or a selection of containers full of contaminated fuel, as long as we can gain access to them, we can drain them. On your behalf, we can then get rid of the waste fuel safely and in accordance with the law of the land.
Need an invoice for the charges? Don’t fret, we will give it to you
We do know that some of our customers are company employees who have to table any proof of spending to their employer or may need some evidence of payment for the insurance company to process their claims, therefore, we give out a VAT invoice to make their work easier.
Once our mechanic arrives, you will be impressed at just how quickly they can drain and flush your fuel system and have sufficient nice clean fuel in your tank, to get you to the nearest gas station. If your car has suffered other wrong fuel related issues like a damaged fuel filter or a flat battery, our technician will be able to advise you and sometimes replace parts and jump start your car to get you on your way.
There's also a chance, though it's a rare case, that the problem is actually not wrong or contaminated fuel, don't fret, you can still go back to your trip. He will distinguish what really the problem is and its cause. Instead of the agreed quoted price, he'll only ask you a reasonable call out charge.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Woodside - Fuel Rescue Woodside
This was certainly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and almost noone was stirring. It was rather dead up to now, and me and Ryan were sitting around looking at a number of old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful time. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The motorist said: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in my Woodside". We instructed him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was located and we headed out, ending up under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine and he thanked us for showing up so quickly. While we were coming back home we noticed two women at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.
