On arrival of the technician at your car

The very first thing that our mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to check your vehicle with the aim of confirming if it is actually the problem of wrong fuel. If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in a vehicle. You won't be charged for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If, as it is in most cases, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is completely equipped and experienced to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct kind of fuel. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just ask for the current pump prices. We also know that you may not be having enough cash with you hence you should know that we also accept any major credit card or debit card payments.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will start to be shown by your engine. It will make it display similar symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. This situation of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

You can also observe similar symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. Nonetheless, if this is added straight away to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If added manually, this should be carried out by someone who knows the correct place to put it.

In both of the cases above, we can offer the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. Whatever caused you to get stranded, we can help you to get back on the road. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

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.
