On arrival of the mechanic at your location

The very first thing that our mobile technician will do when he reaches you is to inspect your vehicle with the aim of confirming if it is actually the problem of incorrect fuel. If it is not, he won’t render any service linked to the wrong fuel in the car, and in that case, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the equipment on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with good clean fuel of the correct type. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge the same price as any gasoline station. And when it is time to pay, we can accept all major credit and debit cards, as we understand you may not take enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

There are other reasons for engine troubles apart from wrong fuel in a vehicle. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar symptoms of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

The same set of signs may also be caused by somebody attempting to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

Still, there's no need to fret. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can absolutely 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. Additionally, we can help you replace the fuel filters broken by water contamination so you don’t need to worry about them.

Other Services

Are you aware that we provide other services too?

After dealing with the problem of wrong fuel we also assist you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel. The contaminated fuel should not be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by a professional in this field because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the environment. We are professional in this industry too as we are accredited by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this work, both legally and safely.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is another separate service that we deliver to commercial and private clients at a fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given locations, we can easily get rid of the contaminated fuels safely.

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.
