On arrival of the technician at your location

The very first task that our technician will do once he arrives at your place is to confirm if the issue you reported via our customer service is correct or not - misfuelling. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in a vehicle. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of wrong fuel in a vehicle and if we find out that yours is the same problem, we will fix it straight away since our mechanics carry the essential tools and fresh fuel with them. There are three major reasons why you should select us. First and foremost, our teams are knowledgeable in handling your situation and can get you back on the road quickly. Another reason is that we ask for the similar price for fresh fuel as that priced in a gas station. And the third reason is that we accept all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have sufficient cash with you, we will allow payments via any major debit or credit card.

Other Services

We also provide other services apart from fixing the issue of incorrect fuel

Under no circumstance should you try to get rid of it yourself since you can quickly affect the environment or pollute the closest water supply. We are also professionals in this industry and are certified by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is another separate service that we offer to commercial and private clients at a fee. All you should do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it doesn't matter whether it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or container since we can get to it and get rid of it properly.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

There are other causes of engine problems apart from filling your car with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause very similar symptoms of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.

You can also notice the same signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added straight to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's exactly why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who knows nothing of AdBlue, the result would be bad for the engine.

But don’t worry as regardless of whether it is a problem of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still in a position to help you. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel.

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.
