On arrival of the mechanic at your car

The first task that our technician will do once he arrives at your location is to confirm if the problem you reported via our customer care is correct or not - misfuelling. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in the car. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Our technician will be carrying the necessary equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he learns that it is really the issue of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. 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 are aware that you might not be having enough cash with you, but you don’t have to worry since we take any common credit or debit card thus you can use them to pay.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

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

.Addition of AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes same symptoms. This can be done so through adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the vehicle.

Still, there's no need to worry. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can definitely 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. Aside from that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can change them out on the spot. You don't need to call for another provider to do that.

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.
