On arrival of the mechanic at your car
Once the mechanic is at your location and has access to your vehicle, his first job is to confirm whether the problem of your car is due to wrong fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the car, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.
The above symptoms are usually an indication of wrong fuel in a car and if we discover that yours is the same problem, we will deal with it immediately since our mechanics bring the required equipment and fresh fuel with them. There are three main reasons why you should choose us. Our mobile technicians are equipped with the best skills and equipment in draining out the wrong fuel and changing it with fresh fuel. Another reason is that we charge the similar price for fresh fuel as that charged in a service station. And the third reason is that we take all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have enough cash with you, we will take payments through any major debit or credit card.
Contamination with Water and AdBlue
You should know that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your vehicle produce lots of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.
The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to improve the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above symptoms. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. Hence, it should only be used by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank instead of being added directly to the fuel.
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. Whatever caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.
Other Services
Besides draining out the wrong fuel in a car, we provide other services related to that. To name one is disposing of the contaminated fuel the right and legal way. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are certified to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly pollute the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not just certified by the Environment Agency but also have the best devices for it.
Disposing of contaminated fuel is a separate service we offer to our clients, either commercial or private companies. If you are a client in need of this service, all you must do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or any other container where it is stored, and be assured that we will empty them out and then get rid of the contaminated fuel in accordance with the security regulations in place.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Old Romney - Fuel Rescue Old Romney
Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Saturday and we were on the way to help an older lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Old Romney. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was stranded in a rural lane on the way to visit her family. I popped the location in the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only got it several days ago when my other one, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant lady!
