After arrival

Upon arrival, our skilled technician will first check your vehicle to ensure that it is the problem of wrong fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will just ask you for a minimal amount.

Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge the same price as any petrol station. And when it's time to pay, we can take all major debit and credit cards, as we understand you may not carry enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave badly. It will make it show similar signs 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.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to display similar symptoms. This additive which is utilized to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. Hence if somebody who is not aware of this process tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

Whether it's the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using the same procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the issue of wrong fuel in a car. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. As we deal with your fuel problem, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

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.
