On arrival of the mechanic at your location

The very first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your place is to verify if the problem you reported via our customer care is correct or not - misfuelling. If it is not, he won’t render any service linked to the incorrect fuel in the car, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our technicians have all the equipment on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with good clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just ask for the current pump prices. And when it is time to pay, we can accept all major credit and debit cards, as we know you may not take enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your car function badly. It will make it display the same signs as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. In cases of wrong fuel, the fuel filter won't be affected. But with water contamination, it should be changed.

One more thing which can cause similar symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by someone who has no knowledge 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.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above problems since we can flush the system just like in the case of wrong fuel. So, if your issue is incorrect fuel, water contaminated fuel, damaged fuel filters or AdBlue into the incorrect tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus enabling you to carry on with your journey.

Other Services

We also deliver other services apart from fixing the issue of wrong fuel

After solving the problem of wrong fuel we also assist you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel.

We will then do the rest of the job in accordance to the environmental law specified.

We'll be there very quickly. If you were already growing impatient as you go through our services, you can rest be assured that we will be with you as soon as possible. Once the technician has started his work, he'll simply need about 30 minutes to get the work done and get you back on the road.

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.
