On getting to your vehicle

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile technicians, he will first assess the problem before doing anything. If in the rare occasion he finds that the problem is not a case of having the incorrect kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the car and you will just be charged a nominal call out charge.

If the technician finds out that it is really the case of wrong fuel then he will begin fixing it right away as he already has the fresh fuel and the necessary equipment to fix the problem. He will remove the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station. We also accept all major debit and credit cards as we know your situation and hence there is no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other causes of engine problems besides filling your car with the wrong fuel. Such signs as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution used to improve the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by someone who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should only be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

In these situations, we can give the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, just like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

Other Services

We also provide other services aside from fixing the problem of incorrect fuel

You must also note that we get rid of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. Such contaminated fuels have to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the surroundings and even pollute local water supplies.

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.
