Once we arrive

The first thing the mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to check the problem. In the rare case that the problem isn’t incorrect fuel in your car, they will know this before doing any more work, and just a minimal call out fee will be made.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your vehicle 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 nice clean fuel of the correct type. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the price of fresh fuel since we charge the same price as any fuel station. And when it is time to pay, we can take 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.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should also take note of the fact that wrong fuel is not the only problem which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but sometimes the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But you should also note that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

You can also notice similar symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. However, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's precisely why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. Hence if someone who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

Still, there's no need to worry. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can absolutely help you. By applying the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the problem of wrong fuel in the car, we can let you get back on the road. Apart from that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can replace them on the spot. You don't need to call for another provider to do that.

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

I'd had a terrific afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I set off to help a new family vacationing. They broken down after putting petrol into their Tubslake, and they were close to half an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the gal telling her man off for being so foolish. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this takes place quite frequently and that it's in reality nothing to stress about, but he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I drained out all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted farewell and thought about what my wife would ask me if I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
