We are able to come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of the usual troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and useless.

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and I was en route to assist an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel classic Audi TT in Larklands.

I got the location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel seeing that I had only purchased it a couple of days back because my old car, which I had for in excess of twenty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Derbyshire woman!

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.

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. 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.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
