When we get to your location

The very first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your location is to confirm if the problem you reported via our customer care 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 situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your car as usually is the case, our technicians have all the equipment on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with good clean fuel of the correct type. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge a similar price as any gasoline station. And when it is time to pay, we can take all major credit and debit cards, as we understand you may not take enough cash and have possibly stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also take note of the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only problem which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but sometimes the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as irreparable damage to the fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to improve the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above symptoms. Using AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your car behave abnormally. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should only be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

Still, there's no need to fret. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can surely help you. By applying the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the problem of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road. Other than that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can replace them on the spot. You don't need to call for another provider to do that.

Other Services

Did you know that we also deliver other services?

You should also remember that we dispose of contaminated fuel on behalf of our customers. Under no circumstance should you try to get rid of it yourself since you can easily affect the environment or pollute the closest water supply. We are also professionals in this industry and are certified by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to use in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

Disposing of the contaminated fuel is a totally different service that we deliver to our private and commercial customers at some fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given areas, we can quickly get rid of contaminated fuels safely.

Talking of getting you on your way, if our mobile technician has been beavering away whilst you have been knowing more about our services, he is likely to be close to finishing now. In most situations it takes about thirty minutes to put things right and get our clients on their way.

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.
