After arrival

The first thing that our technician will do once he reaches your vehicle is to check out your vehicle so as to verify if indeed it is the issue of wrong fuel, and if they discover that it is not, he will just charge you an updated amount of the quoted price.

If it is really the problem of wrong fuel in a car, our mechanic will solve it instantly since he carries the equipment for flushing out the wrong fuel and filling up the tank with the correct fuel. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge a similar price as any fuel station. We also understand that you may not be carrying enough money with you hence you should know that we also accept any major credit card or debit card payments.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

There are other causes of engine problems besides filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar symptoms of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.

The same set of symptoms may also be caused by somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the vehicle.

If you are faced with these two problems then you shouldn't feel worried because we can solve both of these issues utilizing the same process we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. We are always there to fix your vehicle and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the incorrect fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

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 and 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.
