We are able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite expediently.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

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:

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.
