What is Misfuelling?

Misfuelling happens when you accidentally put the wrong type of fuel in your vehicle. This can include filling a diesel car with petrol or putting diesel in a petrol engine. Misfuelling can cause significant damage to your vehicle’s engine and fuel system if not addressed promptly. Common symptoms of misfuelling include engine misfires, difficulty starting the vehicle, or unusual knocking sounds.

What To Do If You Misfuel Your Car

If you realize you’ve put the wrong fuel in your car, it’s crucial to act quickly to avoid further damage to your engine. Here’s what you should do:

1. Don’t Start the Engine: Turning on the engine can cause the wrong fuel to circulate through your vehicle’s system, potentially causing costly damage. If you’ve already started the engine, switch it off as soon as you realize the mistake.
2. Stay Safe: Move your vehicle to a safe location and call for professional help. Driving with the wrong fuel in your car can damage the engine, fuel pump, and injectors.
3. Call Fuel Fixer: Contact us at 0333 366 1081. Our friendly customer service team will dispatch a technician to your location as quickly as possible.
4. Wait for Assistance: Our mobile fuel recovery units will arrive on-site, drain the contaminated fuel, and refill your vehicle with the correct type of fuel. You’ll be back on the road in no time.

Common Misfuelling Mistakes and Their Effects

Misfuelling is more common than you might think, with thousands of drivers making this mistake every year. The consequences of putting the wrong fuel in your car can vary depending on the type of fuel and whether or not the engine has been started.

• Petrol in a Diesel Car: This is the most common form of misfuelling. Diesel engines rely on the lubrication properties of diesel fuel, and petrol doesn’t provide this lubrication. As a result, petrol can cause damage to the fuel injectors and pump, leading to costly repairs.
• Diesel in a Petrol Car: While less common, this type of misfuelling can still cause significant issues. Diesel fuel is thicker than petrol, and putting it in a petrol engine can clog the fuel system, causing the engine to misfire or fail to start.

The Fuel Fixer Process

At Fuel Fixer, we’ve streamlined the wrong fuel recovery process to ensure you’re back on the road as quickly as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you call us for help:

1. Rapid Response: As soon as we receive your call, we’ll dispatch one of our mobile fuel recovery units to your location. Our average response time is just 46 minutes, so you won’t be waiting long for help to arrive.
2. Safe Fuel Removal: Once on-site, our technician will assess the situation and begin the fuel removal process. We use advanced equipment to safely and efficiently drain the contaminated fuel from your vehicle.
3. Fuel System Flush: In some cases, a complete fuel system flush may be necessary to remove all traces of the wrong fuel. This step ensures that your vehicle is free from contamination and ready to run smoothly.
4. Correct Refuelling: After the contaminated fuel has been removed, we’ll refill your vehicle with the correct type of fuel to get you back on the road.

Fleet and Commercial Services

In addition to serving individual drivers, Fuel Fixer also offers tailored solutions for commercial fleets and businesses. Misfuelling can be especially costly for businesses that rely on their vehicles for daily operations. With Fuel Fixer’s fleet services, you can minimize downtime and avoid expensive repair bills. We offer flexible contracts and can provide nationwide coverage for your fleet, ensuring your business keeps moving.

Why You Should Avoid DIY Fuel Removal

While it may be tempting to try and fix the problem yourself, attempting to remove the wrong fuel without the right equipment and expertise can cause more harm than good. DIY methods, such as using siphons or draining the fuel tank manually, can lead to fuel system contamination, engine damage, or even personal injury. It’s always best to leave fuel removal to the professionals at Fuel Fixer, who have the tools and experience to handle the job safely.
