The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!




After arrival

Upon arrival, our competent technician will first check out your vehicle to make sure that it is the problem of incorrect fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will only charge you a minimal amount.

If, as it is in most cases, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is completely equipped and knowledgeable to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct type of fuel. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge the same price as any gasoline station. And when it's time to pay, we can take all major debit and credit cards, as we know you may not take enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

Other Services

Are you aware that we provide other services too?

After dealing with the problem of wrong fuel we also assist you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel. Such contaminated fuels need to be disposed of by an expert and not by just anyone since they can degrade the environment and even pollute local water supplies. We are professional in this field too as we are certified by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this work, both legally and safely.

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 found. We can then get rid of the contaminated liquids, and dump them safely to the relevant regulations.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

There are other causes of engine problems aside from filling your car with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar symptoms of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. This is a serious problem that can completely cause harm to the fuel filters.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also show such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it's an AdBlue issue or fuel contaminated with water. Through using the same procedure of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the issue of wrong fuel in the car, we can let you get back on the road. Additionally, we can help you replace the fuel filters broken by water contamination so you don’t have to worry about them.

Getting You moving

Don’t be worried about waiting for long given that our mobile technician will reach you as quickly as possible whilst you go through our services and information, and he should be with you not long from now. In most situations it takes just about 30 minutes to put things right and get our clients on their way.

Wrong fuel in a car might also lead to additional problems which include flat batteries and air locks in the fuel system. Still, this should not concern you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

We know that you experienced a tough moment today, but since you decided to contact us, we are able to restore your peace of mind by immediately getting you back to your journey.

Wrong Fuel in Car Wilmington - Petrol in Diesel Car Wilmington

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and we were en route to help an older woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Wilmington. I had been told she had left the petrol station and pulled up along a country road en route to visit her grandchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I had only just got it several days ago when my other car, which I'd owned for over twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful lady!

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.

Our engineer was called to a service station when a elderly lady wrong fueled her Wilmington by putting unleaded in her diesel car. She was in an aggravated and bewildered state of mind but we quickly eased her mood by informing her that we would be out to her car in the hour to carry out the drain and that the vehicle would before long be working and she'd be away again. As we'd stated she was just that, but also insisted on declaring: "Your firm is very service oriented, I'm really happy my car is working," and that she would suggest us to anyone.
