Upon arrival

The first thing that our technician will do once he arrives at your location is to check your car so as to verify if indeed it is the issue of wrong fuel, and if they discover that it is not, he will just ask you for an updated amount of the quoted price.

If, as it is in most cases, it is a problem of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is fully equipped and knowledgeable to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct type of fuel. You should not worry that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the current pump price. And when it's time to pay, we can take all major debit and credit cards, as we know you may not carry enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Other Services

Other than incorrect fuel in a vehicle, we also offer other services related to it. You should also be aware of them. To name one is disposing of the contaminated fuel the proper and lawful way. This is because your average mechanic is not allowed to do it nowadays because it can easily damage the environment and even contaminate the local water supply. Not only we are authorized by the Environment Agency, we also have the right devices for disposing contaminated fuel.

Dumping contaminated fuel is a separate service we provide to our customers, either commercial or private companies. If you have a private business and in need of our service, we only need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other kinds of container. We will then do the rest of the work in accordance to the environmental law specified.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should know that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car produce a lot of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But you must also remember that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

A diesel-powered car may also exhibit such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

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 vehicle. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. We can also replace those fuel filters damaged by water.

You will soon get back on the road

Talking of getting you on your way, if our mobile technician has been beavering away whilst you have been knowing more about our services, he is likely to be close to finishing now. For most cases, our standard time for getting our customers sorted and back on the road is around 30 minutes.

At times wrong fuel in the car can also result in more issues, like the presence of air in the fuel system or a flat battery. But our experts have all the skills and equipment to put it all right and get you back on the road.

Thus, if you were feeling any kind of stress because of the wrong fuel issue, now you can feel relieved like nothing had happened and be ready to resume your journey.

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.
