Once we reach your site

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

Our technician will be carrying the necessary tools and fresh fuel with him so if he finds out that it is actually the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and then replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the petrol station. We also accept all major debit and credit cards as we know your situation and hence there is no need to be scared if you are out of cash.

Other Services

Did you know that we also give other services?

You must also remember that we get rid of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. Such contaminated fuels need to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the surroundings and even pollute local water supplies. We are also experts in this industry and are authorized by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

Dumping contaminated fuel is a separate service we offer to our clients, either commercial or private companies. 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 kinds of container. We will then do the rest of the job in accordance to the environmental law specified.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will quickly be shown by your engine. It will make it display similar symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also exhibit such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, just like in the case of filling your tank with the incorrect fuel. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

We'll be there quickly. But if a couple of minutes is still too long for you to wait, you may redirect your attention by browsing other services that we offer. For sure we'll reach you imminently.

It is our hope that despite the stressful experience you have had today we have reduced the inconvenience you suffered and have managed to put you back on the road and on your way to where you have to be.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Buckhurst - Fuel Rescue Buckhurst

It was just after six pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting discussing the sports, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station and put petrol in a diesel Buckhurst rental by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction well done in my opinion!

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 and 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.
