Once we arrive

First thing the mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to assess the problem. If in the rare occasion he finds that the problem is not a case of having the incorrect kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the car and you will only be charged a nominal call out charge.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your car as usually is the case, our technicians have all the equipment on board and know-how to drain 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 simply ask for the current pump prices. And when it's time to pay, we can accept all major credit and debit cards, as we know you may not take enough cash and have possibly stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your car function badly. It will make it display similar symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. This case of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

AdBlue if added incorrectly it can also show similar signs in your car. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. Hence if someone who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

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 incorrect fuel. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can help you to get back on the road. As we deal with your fuel problem, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Other Services

Other than draining out the incorrect fuel in a vehicle, we deliver other services linked to that. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the proper and legal way. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are authorized to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could degrade the environment and possibly contaminate the local water supply. Our certification from the Environment Agency makes us capable of discarding contaminated fuels the right way and legally.

This is a unique service that we provide to business and private customers. We have the capacity to drain many types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are located.

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.
