Some hours ago one of our mobile fuel drain unit operators returned from mobile fuel drain where driver has put petrol in diesel car Rugby Dunchurch. It was Volvo V70 that needed wrong fuel removal. Lady called and quickly agreed all details as our mobile fuel drain unit was very close to Rugby Dunchurch area and could reach it in 30 minutes.
Meanwhile Volvo driver wanted to get some answers to questions that had occurred after misfuleing the car. We can admit that these questions are not typical for women, but this time car driver lady wanted to know all aspects in details.
She wanted to know why petrol in diesel car is damaging to the engine.
We explained that the metal parts of a diesel engine need to be lubricated to allow them to glide alongside each other easily. If wrong fuel has been put in car petrol will remove this lubricant and cause the parts of the engine to grate against each other and wear away.
“When it is too late to fix?” – was next question.
Basically it is never too late as all damages can be fixed, only problem is the amount of the bill you will receive and time you will spend. If talking about costs than this depends on when you realise your mistake. The best – case scenario would be to realise the wrong fuel fact before starting the car. Then a simple professionally – completed tank drain will sort the problem out.
“Will my car be fixed and put back on the road, please, I have not driven it?” – was the last question from Volvo driver.
“We guarantee you that! Here’s our advice: relax and take a cup of coffee. Our experts are on their way to you to do the mobile fuel drain. Here’s how we’ll recover your vehicle from the mistake of putting unleaded into a diesel car:
• We’ll empty or drain the unleaded
• Then remove mixed fuel from the fuel lines and fuel filter
• Add 5-10 litres of fresh correct fuel back into the fuel tank
• Finally, pump fresh fuel through the fuel lines and fuel filter.”
And the Lady finally said: “Thank you and see you soon! Very happy that I found you! ” 🙂
“We are already on our way!” call center operator said and got back to work feeling satisfied and happy!
