When we get to your vehicle
Once the mechanic is with you and has access to your car, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your car is due to incorrect fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the incorrect fuel in the vehicle, and in that case, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.
If the technician discovers that it is truly the case of wrong fuel then he will start fixing it quickly as he already has the fresh fuel and the needed tools to solve the problem. He will drain out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and then refill the tank with fresh fuel priced the same as that charged in the fuel station. We also take all major debit and credit cards as we know your situation and hence there's no need to be scared if you are out of cash.
Other Services
You should also learn that besides fixing your car with wrong fuel, we deliver other services linked to fuel. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the proper and legal way. This is because your average mechanic is not allowed to do it these days because it can quickly degrade the environment and even contaminate the local water supply. Our accreditation from the Environment Agency makes us capable of disposing contaminated fuels the right way and legally.
To our customers in the private or commercial field, we offer this service of disposing contaminated fuel separately. If you have a private company 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.
AdBlue and Water Contamination
Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave terribly. Symptoms mentioned above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be noticed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.
AdBlue if added incorrectly it can also show the same symptoms in your car. This additive which is utilized to purify the emissions of your engine should just be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be carried out by somebody who knows the appropriate place to put it.
In these situations, we can give the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can help you to get back on the road. We can also replace those fuel filters damaged by water.
Getting You moving
Don’t be worried about waiting for long since our mobile technician will reach you as quickly as possible whilst you go through our services and information, and he should be with you not long from now. We usually take about 30 minutes to fix the issue and enable our customers to hit the road again.
If there are any other issues related to putting wrong fuel in your vehicle, such as a flat battery or air locks in the fuel system, our fully trained technicians have the equipment and abilities to put everything right and get you on your way.
We know that the day has been quite stressful, but we do hope that we have helped you stay relieved and enabled you to continue with the journey with ease.
