When we get to your vehicle

The first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your location is to confirm if the issue you reported via our customer care is correct or not - misfuelling. If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in the car. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your car as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the equipment on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with good clean fuel of the correct type. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the present pump price. We are quite considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we do not insist on cash but allow all the major debit and credit cards.

Other Services

You should also learn that besides dealing with your vehicle with incorrect fuel, we provide other services linked to fuel. For instance, we do assist our customers dispose of contaminated fuel. Getting rid of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are authorized to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly contaminate the local water supply. Our certification from the Environment Agency makes us capable of disposing contaminated fuels the proper way and legally.

We offer this as a service in itself to both commercial and private customers. All you have to do is grant us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or other container, we will drain it. We can then get rid of the contaminated liquids, and dispose of them securely to the relevant regulations.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

You should know that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car produce a lot of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, such as damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in the event of wrong fuel.

The same set of symptoms may also be caused by somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

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 car. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters destroyed by water.

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.
