Wrong Fuel in Car Elland - Petrol in Diesel Car Elland
We did a wrong fuel retrieval exercise near a lovely property not so long ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to more or less get home when my car stopped." Our technician went out, regardless that it was quite late at night, and did a full fuel drain and purge on the Elland to everyone's satisfaction.
Signs of wrong fuel
Whenever you refuel your vehicle tank with the incorrect fuel, your vehicle may start giving many signs that should get you worried, unfortunately, you may be not able to master them all. Nonetheless, if your engine begins sputtering or if you start seeing lots of smoke emerging from the exhaust, or your car stops and shows no power at all even if you press the accelerator harder and harder, then it is almost a given that you have put the wrong fuel in your vehicle.
Having said so, if you ever find yourself in a strange car or a car where the autopilot is operating, you should just remain calm. Equipped with information and from experience, you should be able to detect wrong fuel in your car quickly. Knowing the problem won't be hard anymore even without diligently examining your vehicle.
Other Fuel Issues in Elland
Car issues are not attributed only to incorrect fuel in the fuel system. Contamination with other liquid such as water can cause your engine to stop from working or function normally. No matter what kind of fuel you make use of, may it be petrol or diesel, the effects and signs of water contamination to your engine are the same.
To be able to improve the cleanliness of modern diesel engines exhausts today, owner uses AdBlue. Having the right ratio of AdBlue to fuel is essential, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If someone isn't aware of this and tries to add it directly into the tank, it will cause problems. Again, the symptoms are very like those stated above, and we can put things right for you. Just bear in mind what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for assistance and we'll be there".
We are loaded with the required tools and skills
You might come up with an idea of dealing with the issue on your own or getting a friend to do so in order to save some money. But you are wrong considering that the above problems are very complicated and should only be solved by somebody who is fully trained so as to avoid incidents such as fire caused by incorrect handling of fuel. Our mobile mechanics have the proper tools and skills on how to deal with the above issues no matter the kind of vehicle.
Getting Rid of Waste Fuel
When we provide our service of cleaning up your engine because of wrong fuel, it's already a package that we take better care of draining, storage and the process of disposing the waste fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car Elland - Petrol in Diesel Car Elland
It was close to ten pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting talking over the rugby results, prepared for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Elland rental. She was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, as it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and not so stressed. A job done well in my mind!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Elland - Fuel Rescue Elland
It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated commenting on the sports results, waiting around for the 8th job to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Elland hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and not so anxious. One more job done well in my books!

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.
