When we reach your vehicle

The very first thing that our mobile technician will do when he reaches you is to inspect your vehicle with the aim of verifying if it is actually the problem of wrong fuel. 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 price but an updated amount.

If our technician discovers that it is indeed the issue of wrong fuel, he will start solving it right away since he will have fresh fuel as well as the essential equipment with him. He will quickly remove mixed fuel and then change it with fresh fuel, and we won’t ask you for extra on the fresh fuel. You also do not have to worry if you don't have enough money with you, we know your situation and we will take any major credit or debit card.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

You should also take note of the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but often the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

A diesel-powered car may also show such signs when someone puts AdBlue straight into the vehicle’s fuel tank. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

In these situations, we can give the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the incorrect fuel. Whatever caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

Dumping contaminated fuel is a separate service we offer to our clients, either commercial or private businesses.

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.

A gentleman called us from his home on a street. He exclaimed, "My car (a Newbury) is not starting up and is making terrible noises when I turn the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle however believed he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
