Upon our arrival

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile mechanics, he will first diagnose the situation before doing anything. And if he finds out that it is not the issue of wrong fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of wrong fuel in a car.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the tools on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the present pump price. We are quite considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we do not insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Other Services

Do you know that we deliver other services too?

After solving the problem of wrong fuel we also assist you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel. Under no circumstance should you try to get rid of it yourself since you can easily affect the environment or pollute the nearest water supply. You should allow us to do it for you since we are not just certified by the Environment Agency but also capable of doing it in the right way, both legally and safely.

Dumping the contaminated fuel is also a service of its own which we provide to private and commercial customers. If you have a private business and in need of our service, we just need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other types of container. We will then do the rest of the work in accordance to the environmental law specified.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should also pay attention to the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only problem which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but often the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But you must also remember that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to display similar signs. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should just 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. If this is added into the fuel tank by someone who knows nothing of AdBlue, the outcome would be not good for the engine.

But don’t worry as regardless of whether it is an issue of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still in a position to 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, replacing 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.
