Having a Bad Day? Don’t worry

Rest assured that we have loads of experience in dealing with the wrong fuel owing to the fact that we have assisted lots of clients in the same situation throughout the country.

There are generally three reasons which could have placed you in such a situation.: You might have been in a hurry, not concentrating while pumping in fuel or you were in a vehicle that you are not used to. Now you are stuck, waiting in your car and worried about starting it since you just realized that you made this error. Or, you realized what the problem is while you are on the side of the road because you just observed some irregularities with the car, like excess smoke, the engine is sputtering and doesn't have its usual power and later stops.

What needs to be your next course of action?

First: Relax. Avoid worrying yourself over the situation as it will prevent you from thinking clearly, which in the real sense, won’t solve your problem. Stay calm and rest assured that you are in good hands.

You should also tell them to alight and stand in a safe location, and if you were carrying any pets, make sure their safety and the safety of any other road users through locking the animals inside your vehicle.

After you are safe be sure to call us right away. You will be welcomed by one of our hospitable staff who will then ask you a couple of questions aimed at helping you sort the problem out.

On getting to your location

Once our mobile mechanic arrives, he will assess the situation before taking any action. And if he finds out that it is not the problem of incorrect fuel in the car, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will only be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of incorrect fuel in a car.

If our technician learns that it is indeed the issue of incorrect fuel, he will start solving it immediately since he will have fresh fuel as well as the required tools with him. He will drain out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and then replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced the same as that charged in the petrol station. We are aware that you might not be having enough money with you, but you don’t need to worry since we take any common credit or debit card thus you can use them to pay.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other factors that cause engine problems aside from filling your car with the wrong fuel. Such symptoms as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. This is a serious issue that can completely damage the fuel filters.

One more thing which can cause similar symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Hence, it should only be used by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above problems since we can flush the system just like in the case of incorrect fuel. So, if your problem is wrong fuel, water contaminated fuel, broken fuel filters or AdBlue into the incorrect tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus enabling you to continue with your journey.

Other Services

Did you Know

You may be curious to know the other services we provide too.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems through the day, they will have a tank full of contaminated fuel they need to get rid of. These days, such fuel should be dumped correctly since pouring it out might pollute the surroundings and the local water supply. But we can manage it for you since we have the ideal tools, and we are accredited by the Environment Agency to do so.

To our clients in the private or commercial sector, we offer this service of discarding contaminated fuel separately. If you have a private business and in need of our service, we only 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.

Just wait for a moment and we will be there. If you were already growing impatient as you go through our services, you can rest be assured that we will be with you as soon as possible. Once the technician has started his work, he'll just have about 30 minutes to get the job done and get you back on the road.

Wrong fuel in the tank may probably lead to other issues such as air getting into the fuel system or even a flat battery. Still, this should not concern you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

We understand how difficult it is to overcome moments like this but we are happy you contacted us. Our help extended to you means a lot to us. Not just can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.

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.

A driver with a full car of children in her diesel Bullockstone had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the BP station. She contacted us weeping and very upset as she had never wrong fueled before and did not know what would happen to her vehicle . We told her that all would be alright and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."
