Once we arrive

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

If our technician discovers that it is indeed the issue of incorrect fuel, he will start solving it quickly since he will have fresh fuel as well as the essential equipment with him. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and then refill the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the fuel station. We are aware that you might not be having enough cash with you, but you don’t have to worry since we take any common debit or credit card thus you can use them to pay.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave badly. It will make it display similar signs as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. This case of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

You can also observe similar signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's the reason why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If added manually, this should be done by somebody who knows the proper place to put it.

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it is an AdBlue problem or fuel contaminated with water. Through applying the same procedure of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the problem of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road.

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.
