On arrival of the technician at your location

The first thing that our mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to assess your vehicle with the aim of verifying if it is actually the issue of wrong fuel. If it is not, he won’t render any service linked to the wrong fuel in the vehicle, and in that case, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

If, as it is in most situations, it is a problem of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is completely equipped and experienced to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct type of fuel. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the current pump price. 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 AdBlue or Water

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your vehicle behave badly. Symptoms cited above for an engine with the incorrect 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 vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also exhibit such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

In these situations, we can provide 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. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. As we deal with your fuel problem, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Other Services

Are you aware that we also deliver other services?

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

We are also experts in this industry and are authorized by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both safely and legally.

Dumping contaminated fuel is a separate service we deliver to our clients, either commercial or private companies. If you are a client needing this service, all you have to do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or other container where it is stored, and be assured that we will empty them out and then eliminate the contaminated fuel in accordance with the security regulations in place.

We will arrive at your location soon. But if a couple of minutes is still too long for you to wait, you may redirect your attention through checking other services that we offer.

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.
