Other Services
Other than incorrect fuel in a car, we also provide other services associated with it. You should also be aware of them. To name one is disposing of the contaminated fuel the right 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 discarding contaminated fuels the right way and legally.
It is also a service that we deliver separately to business and private customers at a fee. We have the ability to drain various types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are located. We can then get rid of the contaminated liquids, and dump them securely to the relevant regulations.
AdBlue and Water 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 at times the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, like damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in case of wrong fuel.
AdBlue if added incorrectly it can also show the same signs in your car. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added straight to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's precisely why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who knows nothing of AdBlue, the outcome would be bad for the engine.
Still, there's no need to panic. Whatever engine problem you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can certainly help you. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Twitham - Fuel Rescue Twitham
What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and we were on my way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Twitham. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station and pulled up on a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel as I had only just got it several days ago after my other car, which I owned for in excess of thirty years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious lady!
