On getting to your location
Once our mobile technician arrives, he will evaluate the situation before taking any action. If in the rare occasion he finds that the problem is not a case of having the wrong kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the car and you will only be charged a minimal call out charge.
If the technician discovers that it is truly the case of wrong fuel then he will begin fixing it instantly as he already has the fresh fuel and the required tools to solve the problem. He will remove the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it up with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station. We also take all major debit and credit cards as we know your situation and hence there is no need to be worried if you are out of cash.
Other Services
You should also know that other than fixing your vehicle with wrong fuel, we provide other services related to fuel. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the proper and legal way. This is because your average mechanic is not authorized to do it nowadays because it can easily degrade the environment and even pollute the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not just accredited by the Environment Agency but also have the best devices for it.
We give this as a service in itself to both commercial and private clients. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks and also a wide variety of other containers, as long as we can reach them. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and dump it safely to the right regulations.
Water and AdBlue Contamination
There are other causes of engine problems besides filling your car with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.
One more thing which can cause similar symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by somebody who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.
But you don't have to worry since we can fix both problems for you by using the same procedure used in solving the issue of wrong fuel. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the incorrect fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.
Getting You moving
Talking of getting you on your way, if our mobile technician has been beavering away whilst you have been knowing more about our services, he is likely to be close to finishing now. In most situations it takes about thirty minutes to put things right and get our customers on their way.

We know that you experienced a difficult moment today, but since you decided to contact us, we are able to restore your peace of mind by quickly getting you back to your journey.

Common wrong fuel drain tales in Hawkhurst:
Wrong Fuel in Car Hawkhurst - Petrol in Diesel Car Hawkhurst
It was around ten pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the rugby results, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage and put petrol in a diesel Hawkhurst lease car in error. The poor lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, because it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and less concerned. A fuel drain well done in my books!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Hawkhurst - Fuel Rescue Hawkhurst
A woman with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Hawkhurst had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Co Op service station. She phoned us sobbing and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that everything would be fine and that she would be back ready to go very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the youngsters on board."
