When we get to your vehicle

The very first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your place is to confirm if the issue you reported via our customer service is correct or not - misfuelling. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the vehicle, and in that case, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

Signs of vehicle irregularities cited above are an indication that your car has been filled with wrong fuel. Since we have the needed equipment and fresh fuel, we can fix that problem straight away wherever you are. These three reasons should persuade you why we should serve you. Our mobile technicians are equipped with the right skills and equipment in draining out the incorrect fuel and changing it with fresh fuel. Another reason is that we charge the same price for fresh fuel as that priced in a service station. And the third reason is that we take all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have sufficient cash with you, we will accept payments through any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

Do you know that we offer other services too?

You should also remember that we get rid of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. Such contaminated fuels have to be disposed of by a professional 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 job, both legally and safely.

This is a unique service that we provide to commercial and private customers. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks and also a wide variety of other containers, as long as we can get to them. We subsequently cart away the polluted liquids and properly dump them in accordance with the set procedures and regulations.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should also pay attention to the fact that wrong fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but at times the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, like damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in the event of wrong fuel.

.Addition of AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes similar symptoms. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

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

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.
