On arrival of the mechanic at your location

Once the mechanic is at your location and has access to your vehicle, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your car is caused by wrong fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the incorrect fuel in the vehicle, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

If it is really the issue of wrong fuel in a car, our technician will solve it instantly since he carries the equipment for flushing out the wrong fuel and filling up the tank with the correct fuel. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just ask for the present pump prices. And when it is time to pay, we can accept all major debit and credit cards, as we know you may not carry enough cash and have possibly stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Other Services

Did you Know

You may be curious to discover the other services we provide too.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems throughout the day, they will have a tank full of contaminated fuel they have to get rid of. You aren’t allowed to pour such things nowadays as it will pollute waterways and have a dangerous effect on the environment, and may even pollute the local water supply. We are fully equipped, and Environment Agency certified to safely dump contaminated fuel.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we deliver to commercial and private customers at a fee. As long as we have access to its fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or containers, we can safely dispose of the contaminated liquids at the designed locations.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your car behave badly. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be observed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. In cases of wrong fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be changed.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to show similar symptoms. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should just be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who has no knowledge of AdBlue, the outcome would be bad for the engine.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the wrong fuel in your vehicle.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
