Once we reach your site
The first thing that our technician will do once he reaches your vehicle is to assess your car so as to confirm if indeed it is the issue of incorrect fuel, and if they discover that it is not, he will just ask you for an updated amount of the quoted price.
Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our technicians have all the tools on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we simply charge the present pump prices. We also understand that you may not be taking enough cash with you hence you should know that we also take any major credit card or debit card payments.
Contamination with Water and AdBlue
There are other causes of engine troubles apart from wrong fuel in a vehicle. Such symptoms as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. This is a serious problem that can completely damage the fuel filters.
.Addition of AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes similar symptoms. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the vehicle.
But you can relax if you experience any of the above issues since we can flush the system just like in the case of wrong fuel. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is an issue of the incorrect fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car Smarts Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Smarts Hill
It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting talking over the weekend's sports results, prepared for the sixth call to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage and filled petrol in her diesel Smarts Hill lease car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain well done in my mind!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Smarts Hill - Fuel Rescue Smarts Hill
Just had a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Smarts Hill. She informed us that she had left the filling station and broken down along a rural lane on the way to see her family. I plugged her location in the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing it she told me, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I had only just got it a few days back right after my other car, which I had had for about thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely woman!

- 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.
