Wrong Fuel in Car Todmorden - Petrol in Diesel Car Todmorden
A woman had stopped on a street, having just misfueled. She was weeping and really agitated as she had put £40 of petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we made an effort to relax her as best we could, telling her that everything would be fine. When we reached her she was not aggrieved any more and was rather fascinated in watching our engineer complete the fuel drain on her Todmorden. Later she said: "My vehicle is akin to my child, I only just paid for it so it especially worried me that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm so glad that it was very easily repairable."
Signs of the Problem and its Causes
Now that you have personally experienced what it is like to have the incorrect fuel in your vehicle, you may be be careful next time. And to fully understand the signs of the problem here's a list for reference:
- The engine won't work and it's spluttering
- The exhaust produces lots of smoke
- Engine seems powerless now matter how hard you push the accelerator
- The car won't run anymore
That experience of refilling your tank with the wrong fuel would teach a harsh lesson to be cautious in the future. You'll want to look back at what exactly are the possible causes of why it happened.
- Being in a hurry or flustered
- Not focusing - being on autopilot
- Being in a vehicle you aren't used to - borrowing or hiring a car
Other Fuel Issues in Todmorden
Issues in the fuel system may not only due to incorrect fuel in the car. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause your car to run poorly and ultimately stop altogether. Regardless of 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 similar.
A lot of modern diesel engines make use of AdBlue, a system that lowers the air pollution of the engine. The correct amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very essential. It's typically mounted on a separate tank to avoid directly mixing to your fuel tank. If somebody directly added this to your tank not knowing the right tank to put it in, your engine will be in big trouble since it is is wrong to mix it with fuel. The signs you will notice is just like what were cited above but don't fret we get it fixed. Just keep 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".

Whatever type of car you have got, all of our standby mobile technicians are totally equipped with the right training and knowledge. Professional tools are all in the van to each of the mechanics so they can quickly access them even in remote locations. Don't forget to remember that fuel could ignite at any time.

Safe and Legal Disposal
After effectively draining out the incorrect fuel in your car, we make certain that the right storage and proper disposal of contaminated fuel follow.

There's also a chance, though it's a rare case, that the problem is actually not incorrect or contaminated fuel, do not worry, you can still go back to your trip.

Wrong Fuel in Car Todmorden - Petrol in Diesel Car Todmorden
A relatively alarmed motorist called us from the Esso filling station to advise us that he put petrol in to his diesel Todmorden; he wasn't actually sure how he'd managed to do it. We said to him it was not a hassle and rapidly had our fuel drainer with him to clear the contaminated fuel from his tank. Having purged the incorrect fuel, he was soon back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the man who appeared to carry out the fuel drain was very excellent - he did not make me feel an idiot."
Wrong Fuel Doctor Todmorden - Fuel Rescue Todmorden
We fairly recently received a call about a man who had put the incorrect fuel in his Todmorden. He had ground to a halt on the street. "After inserting petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the issue till the time it ground to a halt. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it running once again. I was impressed by both your call-out time and your prices". It goes without saying that we got there rapidly and flushed the engine after draining the petrol from the diesel tank. The customer was over the moon by the time we were done and he went off happy.

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.
Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:
- How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.

It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were resting there commenting on the sports rankings, prepared for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station and put petrol in a diesel Todmorden lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes away from us, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain well done in my books!
