On getting to your vehicle

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile technicians, he will first diagnose the situation before doing anything. And if he discovers that it is not the issue of wrong fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of incorrect fuel in a car.

If our technician learns that it is indeed the problem of wrong fuel, he will start solving it right away since he will have fresh fuel as well as the essential equipment with him. He will take away the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station. We are aware that you might not be carrying enough cash with you, but you don’t have to worry because we take any common debit or credit card thus you can use them to pay.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will start to be shown by your engine. It will make it show similar symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also show such signs when someone puts AdBlue straight into the vehicle’s fuel tank. This can be done so through adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the vehicle.

Still, there's no need to worry. Whatever engine problem you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can certainly 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. Other than 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 service provider to do that.

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.
