Wrong Fuel in Car Loscoe - Petrol in Diesel Car Loscoe
A person called us saying he had pumped petrol in his diesel Loscoe. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It only took the technician approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel out of the car. He completely cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to get the job properly completed.
Indicators of incorrect fuel
After refueling your tank, your car may start experiencing some signs but you might not be able to understand them all. Nonetheless, if you were driving, and abruptly you observe that your car is giving off too much smoke through the exhaust and your engine is sputtering abnormally while the car loses power gradually 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 facing a wrong fuel in your car issue.
All that said, you will possibly be more cautious in future, now that you have experienced putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. From now on, be aware of those common causes of putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle:
- You're in a hurry and confused on what to do
- Not concentrating - being on autopilot
- You're using a car you are not used to driving, borrowed or hired
Presence of water in fuel is another problem
Presence of water in fuel is another thing which can make your car behave in the way explained above. Hence you also need to consider it. You should know that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your vehicle uses diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine leading to an untimely stop.
Addition of too much or way too low AdBlue to your vehicle tank also results in too much smoke from the exhaust and a sputtering engine too. Luckily you have us, so you have absolutely nothing to be worried about. The wrong ratio of this fuel additive which is used to enhance the working of the engine can result from being added directly along with fuel instead of using its own automatic dosing system and tank. You should thus only use it if you are totally aware of its process so as to prevent your vehicle from misbehaving because of the wrong usage of AdBlue. You should thus note that whether it is wrong fuel or adding AdBlue directly, we can help you hit back on the road.
Diesel or petrol being extremely flammable needs to be managed by a professional with the proper equipment. If not, it can cause fire, making the entire situation catastrophic yet it could have been managed with ease. If you have a vehicle issue that involves fuel or other flammable materials, we recommend you speak to an expert as your first point of action, as opposed to handling it by yourself or involving a friend.
Besides, our technicians are situated throughout the area, and they have all the relevant skills and knowledge, and will solve the problem for you quickly and at an inexpensive price.
Safe and Legal Disposal
Draining, storage and disposal of contaminated fuel is part of the procedure when assisting our customers who have put the incorrect fuel in their vehicle. To businesses that have these fuel wastes, we deliver this service separately. As long as these containers are easily accessible, we wouldn't have problem draining these mobile bowsers or fixed storage tanks or any kinds of containers that hold contaminated fuels. If you can't do it, on your behalf we'll do the disposal based on the laws.
In the unlikely circumstance that wrong fuel or contaminated fuel isn't the problem, our skilled technician will be able to determine that, and the likely cause and we will only make a nominal call out fee, not the originally quoted price.
Will it take long
You don't have to panic about waiting for long until the mechanic is done. On average, you will be on your way, and getting on with your day within thirty minutes.
By letting us assist you, we hope to make you realise that this problem is not as bad as you first anticipated. Thanks for allowing us give our professional services to you.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Loscoe - Fuel Rescue Loscoe
This really was what we call the graveyard shift. It was around 3:30 in the morning and noone was around. It had been pretty quiet thus far, and Ryan and I were loafing browsing some old magazines. That was an uncommon restful time. It was so tranquil that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I've only just completed my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in my Loscoe in error". We got him to tell us just where he was and we hit the road, ending up less than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor and he thanked us for showing up so fast. While we were heading back home we saw two women on the edge of the street who looked like they had a flat. As a result we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.
