On arrival of the technician at your car

The first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your place is to verify if the issue you reported via our customer care is correct or not - misfuelling. If it is not, he won’t render any service linked to the wrong fuel in the vehicle, and in that case, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

Our technician will be bringing the required equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he discovers that it is actually the issue of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will drain out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced the same as that charged in 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.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

There are other causes of engine problems besides filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. The existence of water in your fuel also makes your car to show similar signs, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

The same set of symptoms may also be caused by somebody attempting to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. As we deal with your fuel problem, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Other Services

Dumping the contaminated fuel is also a service of its own which we provide to private and commercial clients.

We will then do the rest of the job in accordance to the environmental law specified.

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.

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.
