When we reach your vehicle

If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in the car. You won't be charged for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Our technician will be carrying the necessary tools and fresh fuel with him so if he learns that it is really the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will right away remove mixed fuel and then replace it with fresh fuel, and we won’t charge you extra on the fresh fuel. We are aware that you might not be carrying enough money with you, but you don’t have to worry since we take any common debit or credit card thus you can use them to pay.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Aside from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications 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.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to display similar signs. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nonetheless, if this is added straight to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's precisely why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If this is added into the fuel tank by someone who has no knowledge of AdBlue, the result would be not good for the engine.

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.

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.
