When we get to your vehicle

First thing that our mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to check your car with the aim of confirming if it is actually the issue of incorrect fuel. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the car, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a car and if we discover that yours is the same issue, we will deal with it right away since our technicians bring the essential equipment and fresh fuel with them. There are three main reasons why you should go for us. First of all, our teams are competent in dealing with your situation and can get you back on the road in no time. Another reason is our charges for the fuel replacement is the same as the present price in your nearby petrol station. The last reason is the method of payment. We take other forms of payment like debit or credit cards if in case you don't have cash with you.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other causes of engine problems besides filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Such symptoms as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.

The same set of symptoms may also be due to somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

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. It doesn't matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. As we deal with your fuel issue, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

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.
