If our technician learns that it is indeed the issue of wrong fuel, he will start solving it right away since he will have fresh fuel as well as the necessary equipment with him. He will take away the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station.

Other Services

You might also want to find out if we provide other services apart from solving the issue of wrong fuel.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems through the day, they will have a tank filled with contaminated fuel they need to get rid of. Nowadays, such fuel must be disposed of appropriately since pouring it out might pollute the surroundings and the local water supply. We are fully equipped, and Environment Agency authorized to securely dump contaminated fuel.

To our clients in the private or commercial sector, we offer this service of discarding contaminated fuel separately. If you are a client needing this service, all you must do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or any other container where it is stored, and be guaranteed that we will empty them out and then eliminate the contaminated fuel in accordance with the security regulations in place.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause same signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you should also suspect it. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, such as damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in case of wrong fuel.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to improve the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by someone who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. Therefore, it should only be used by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel.
