When we reach your vehicle

Once the mechanic is with you and has access to your vehicle, his first work is to confirm whether the problem of your car is caused by wrong fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in a vehicle. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If our technician finds out that it is indeed the issue of wrong fuel, he will start solving it quickly since he will have fresh fuel as well as the needed tools with him. He will empty 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 gasoline 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 credit or debit card thus you can use them to pay.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Besides wrong fuel, water can also cause similar symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you should also suspect it. But you should also remember that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to show similar signs. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. However, if this is added straight away to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's precisely why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this process tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

Still, there's no need to worry. Whatever engine problem you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can definitely help you. Through applying the same procedure of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the issue of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road. Additionally, we can help you replace the fuel filters damaged by water contamination so you don’t need to bother about them.

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 anywhere in Kent to 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.
