On arrival of the mechanic at your location

Once the technician is with you and has access to your vehicle, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to wrong fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service linked to the wrong fuel in the car, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

If it is actually the issue of wrong fuel in a car, our technician will solve it quickly since he carries the equipment for flushing out the wrong fuel and filling up the tank with the correct fuel. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge a similar price as any gasoline station. We are very considerate when it’s time to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we don't insist on cash but allow all the major debit and credit cards.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Putting the wrong fuel in your car isn’t the only reason for engine problems. Such signs as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. This is a serious issue that can totally cause harm to the fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to display similar symptoms. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. Nonetheless, 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. If added manually, this should be done by someone who knows the right place to put it.

We are always there to fix your vehicle and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

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.
