On arrival of the mechanic at your location
Once the technician is with you and has access to your car, his first job is to confirm whether the problem of your car is due to incorrect fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service linked to the incorrect fuel in the vehicle, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.
Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our technicians 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. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just ask for the current pump prices. We also know that you may not be carrying enough money with you hence you should know that we also take any major credit card or debit card payments.
Other Services
You should also learn that other than dealing with your vehicle with incorrect fuel, we offer other services linked to fuel. For instance, we do help our customers dispose of contaminated fuel. This is because your average mechanic is not allowed to do it nowadays because it can quickly degrade the environment and even contaminate the local water supply. Our certification from the Environment Agency makes us capable of disposing contaminated fuels the proper way and legally.
Disposing of contaminated fuel is a separate service we provide to our customers, either commercial or private businesses. If you are a customer in need of this service, all you have to do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or other container where it is stored, and be guaranteed that we will empty them out and then get rid of the contaminated fuel in accordance with the security regulations in place.
Water and AdBlue Contamination
Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave terribly. Symptoms mentioned above for an engine with the incorrect fuel can also be noticed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. This situation of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.
Yet another thing which can cause same symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by someone who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.
Whether it's the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using the same process of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the issue of incorrect fuel in a car. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. As we deal with your fuel trouble, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.
We will arrive at your location soon. But if a few minutes is still too long for you to wait, you may redirect your attention through browsing other services that we offer. For sure we'll arrive imminently. Then, provide our technician around 30 minutes to work on your engine problem. You will be back on the road soon.
If there are any other problems connected to putting incorrect fuel in your car, such as a flat battery or air locks in the fuel system, our properly trained technicians have the tools and abilities to put everything right and get you on your way.
We know that the day has been really stressful, but we do hope that we have helped you stay relieved and enabled you to continue with the journey with ease.

Stories from our Bluewater staff:
Wrong Fuel in Car Bluewater - Petrol in Diesel Car Bluewater
Now I'm not ever excessively excited about working weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just left the family after a tasty roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was on my way to sort out a fellow who put the incorrect petrol in his Bluewater. He was only nearby and so I arrived with him almost immediately. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on other stuff and failed to grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted some damage by simply driving it?" I said generally there should not be any problems and that I'd get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and then another contented client was able to continue his journey without difficulty. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what makes earning a living on weekends just that small bit easier for me personally!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Bluewater - Fuel Rescue Bluewater
It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there discussing the recent golf, waiting around for the next fuel drain to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage and filled petrol in a diesel Bluewater hire car in error. She was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was only a few minutes off from us, we could reach the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction well done in my books!

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