Upon arrival

Upon arrival, our competent technician will first inspect your car to make sure that it is the problem of incorrect fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will only charge you a minimal amount.

Our technician will be bringing the required equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he finds out that it is really the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will drain out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and then replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the fuel station. You also don't need to worry if you don't have ample money with you, we know your situation and we will accept any major credit or debit card.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave badly. It will make it show similar signs as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

The same set of symptoms may also be due to somebody attempting to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

If you are faced with these two issues then you shouldn't feel worried because we can handle both of these issues using the same process we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. It doesn't matter if the issue is wrong fuel, broken fuel filters, water contaminated fuel or the incorrect usage of AdBlue, we can help fix your vehicle so as to allow you to hit the road again.

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.
