There are three main reasons why you should choose us. Our mobile mechanics are equipped with the best skills and tools in draining out the incorrect fuel and replacing it with fresh fuel.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other causes of engine problems besides filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Such symptoms as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to show similar symptoms. This additive which is utilized 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 directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this process tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it's an AdBlue problem or fuel contaminated with water. We can get you back to your journey after we do the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel.

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.
