Upon our arrival

The first thing the mobile mechanic will do when he gets to you is to verify the problem. And if he discovers that it is not the issue of wrong fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will only be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of wrong fuel in a car.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our technicians have all the equipment on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. You should not worry that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the current pump price. And when it is time to pay, we can take all major credit and debit cards, as we understand you may not take enough cash and have possibly stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Other Services

You should also learn that besides fixing your car with incorrect fuel, we offer other services linked to fuel. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the proper and legal way. This is because your average mechanic is not permitted to do it nowadays because it can quickly damage the environment and even pollute the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not only certified by the Environment Agency but also have the right devices for it.

Disposing of the contaminated fuel is a totally different service that we provide to our private and commercial customers at some fee. All you need to do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it doesn't matter whether it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or container since we can get to it and get rid of it safely and securely.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should know that wrong fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The existence of water in fuel is another issue which can make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But you must also note that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

One more thing which can cause same signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by somebody who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Therefore, it should just be used by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the wrong fuel in your car. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. As we deal with your fuel trouble, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.
