When we reach your location

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

Signs of car problems stated above are an indication that your car has been pumped with incorrect fuel. Since we bring the needed tools and fresh fuel, we can fix that problem right away wherever you are. You should hire us because of these three reasons. Our mobile mechanics are equipped with the best skills and tools in draining out the wrong fuel and changing it with fresh fuel. One other reason is our charges for the fuel replacement is the same as the present price in your closest gas station. The last reason is the method of payment. We allow other forms of payment like debit or credit cards if in case you don't have cash with you.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

There are other causes of engine problems aside from wrong fuel in a vehicle. Such signs as lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

You can also notice the same signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be carried out by somebody who knows the right place to put it.

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it is an AdBlue issue or fuel contaminated with water. By using the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the issue of wrong fuel in the car, we can let you get back on the road. Aside from that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can change them out on the spot. You don't need to call for another company to do that.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
