The recovery of wrong fuel has only one alternative. These cases are very common and are one of the major reasons or a car break down. The most commonly used fuel is petrol and diesel. However researchers are trying to use bio-fuel and water as alternative fuels in the future. But until that, the number of wrong fuel in car will remain the same.

When we report a wrong fuel case to the drainage specialist they usually send a team of experts, engineers and technicians to take care of your car. These services are of on-site type. The experts reach the spot and take care of it. It is the best option for the motorist as they do not have to drag their car to the drainage company and saves a lot of time and effort.

Petrol in diesel car

This situation is considered to be dangerous. But the situations are not as terrifying as they sound. Petrol scrape out diesel lubricants and petrol fragments contaminate the fuel mixture. In such cases if you delay the removal of contaminated fuel, the condition might get worse and you might have to spend a fortune to fix it.

Local specialist or a drainer

Both of these have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you call a local specialist the chances are that he will reach the spot quickly and fix it quickly. If you call a wrong fuel removal service that is a bit far away from the incident, they might take some time. Some experts reach the spot within 30 minutes. However make sure to trust only a specialist in wrong fuel cases. If no such expert is available then it’s better to contact a service provider living far away. No matter how near or far they are, make sure to contact the best in such cases.

Wrong Fuel mistake is commonly perceived as a big issue. Any wrong-fuelling expert will claim that majority of the common people make mountain of molehills in the wake of such problems. These people never learn from their mistake and seldom stay alert while refilling their car tank. As a result, mis-fuelling happens. These people are never ready to dispel their fears and doubts in regards to the consequences of wrong-fuelling. They always tend to think that mis-fuelling will cause them heavy expenses and even could spell more disaster by leaving their car no more usable. Truly speaking, you will never find reality in those myths.

I am a wrong fuel drainer by profession and working with a UK-based agency. So, you can trust me in this regard. I will give you authentic information about mis-fuelling. Let us first see when mis-fuelling could be a bigger problem.

Unleaded petrol in diesel cars

It is a possibility and most of the wrong fuel in engine cases are all about unleaded petrol in diesel vehicles. The diameter of the diesel nozzle is bigger than that of the petrol pump at the fuel court. You can easily understand why such problems register a staggering rise with every passing day. The modern diesel cars create more problems as they don’t produce jarring sound while running on contaminated fuel. Petrol is harmful for the diesel lubricant and causes the same to come out. If it stays longer in the diesel tank, there is a heavy chance for the engine to suffer damages.

Driving with fuel mixture

If the car is driven with fuel mixture, the contaminated fuel is circulated throughout the engine and negatively affects more components. Therefore, it is always recommended never to start a car if you realize your incorrect fuel in car. If you have already started and later find problem suspected to be a wrong-fuelling one, you must stop your car immediately.

So you have stopped your car and even called in an expert to solve your wrong-fuelling problem. That’s fine and shows you have taken our suggestion seriously. Now I will tell you to do one thing more – which you may consider out of context at the first sight – go through the details of your car insurance policy. Confused? Let me offer some explanation.

Insurance Claims

In majority of wrong-fuelling cases, simple fuel recovery will be enough to get your vehicle back on the road. Some insurance policies provide coverage of wrong fuel drain-out but you may not need it as costs incurred by the motorists in most of such cases even don’t come closer to the policy excess.

However, sometimes further works like thorough investigation and repairing/replacement become a necessity to sort out the issues. In that case, go to the section of ‘Accidental Damage’ coverage. However, that coverage is included in the insurance policy if only it is of comprehensive nature. Most of the insurance policies cover engine damage but not all.

Monitor condition of your vehicle for a few weeks following fuel drain-out

After fuel drain out is completed and your car is back on the road, you need to monitor it for several weeks to ensure that it is working perfectly. If the vehicle is making erratic sound, does not show signs of improvement or behaves abnormally, you need to get those problems inspected properly. I would again suggest that you should consult an expert working at a reputed wrong fuel removal company instead of consulting with a mechanic or a local dealer.

There may be some problems with a component or more in the fuel system of the vehicle. Whatever it is, you will get authentic advice from a specialist who is most likely to demand a nominal fee for consultation.

You know the exact time when you have to sign in but there is really no predicted time for your logging out.

Wrong-fuelling is a work that demands round-the-clock availability of service on part of the wrong fuel specialists. Usually, these companies have ‘shifting’ duties though sometimes works loads or sudden summon from a customer can force you to stay beyond the schedule time at office. The job is very demanding and lucrative but full of every-day challenge.

It is often said that the key to survive in the industry is to update one’s skill and knowledge, for which, sky is the only limit. Every other day, new and more high-end tools are rolled out into the industry and the more advanced technologies are outsmarting the previous ones. It is must for the engineers to keep their knowledge aligned with the latest type both in terms of tools and technology.

For an engineer to shine in the industry, it is most important to be focused, hard working, dedicated to his work, amicable and willing to learn. He must be ready to do work anytime he is required to provide service. The job of a wrong fuel engineer is very challenging and to be successful, you need to love taking the challenge.

Wrong fuelling is often projected as a serious problem whereas in reality, it is of benign nature in most of the cases. However, that never means it won’t turn worse if fuel is not removed or stays there for long. Even if you drive your car with fuel mixture in its tank, it could damage the tank and other components. So, immediate wrong fuel recovery is always recommended if wrong fuel has been placed in your car tank.

The reasons behind wrong fuelling issues are often scanned to warn the motorists so that such problems can be avoided. Absent-mindedness is often pinned as the major problem causing wrong fuelling. However, that is not the sole reason for such problems as other things also play a role. Sometimes we borrow car from our friend and forget to ask him/her whether it is a diesel driven or petrol-run vehicle. So mistake is a serious possibility when it comes to refilling the car tank. Lack of professionalism at fuel courts also leads to mis-fuelling issue. There are several fuel stations where petrol and diesel pumps are not properly marked and so mistake on part of the motorists is not unprecedented.

Now we are done with dissection of the causes of wrong fuelling and let us proceed to its consequences and cure. With wrong fuel in tank, you must not drive your car especially if unleaded has been placed in a diesel vehicle. The car will not move away or even it moves, will come to a sudden halt. Petrol causes heavy damages to diesel cars and must be removed quickly otherwise, lubricants will come out. Whenever mis-fuelling occurs, call in an expert drainage specialist at once. Sometimes little delay could cause more and severe problems. Make sure the wrong fuel drainage service provider also checks your car and does repairing and replacement work if needed at all.

There are things in the world that even a very intelligent person cannot always avoid. There are inevitable things like aging and death that will ultimately befall on us all. But a thing like wrong fuelling is not naturally inevitable but even then it befalls on a very large number of people. The main reason behind that is off course momentary mental lapse and forgetfulness.

In some countries especially in the UK, almost every motorist fills his/her car with wrong fuel at least once.  For some it unfortunately happens not just once but more. Despite the fact that wrong-fuelling has become a major cause of car breakdown most car owners and motorists around the world has very little or no idea about its consequences and how to fix things if it happens. Almost every car breakdown service has Wrong fuel recovery specialists and it is better to trust only them to handle this problem.

Mis-fuelling or Wrong-fuelling whatever it may be called – can cause heavy damage to the car engine and parts but generally they are taken care of before something bad happens. However, if too much time spent before the recovery process begins, then wrong fuel can damage the lubricants and other car components. Generally if there is petrol in a diesel car than it is very damaging. Diesel in a petrol car is not as much harmful.

However, whatever may be the type of wrong-fuelling, it needs immediate action and there can be no compromise on that. Draining out the wrong fuel is the only solution. If parts of the wrong fuel are left out, it can damage your engine and components without you realizing in the beginning.

Before you hire a specialist for wrong-fuelling service, make sure he provides an all round
service that will include, checking, repairing and if necessary, replacement.
