On getting to your location

First thing the mobile technician will do when he gets to you is to verify the problem. And if he finds out that it is not the problem of wrong fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of wrong fuel in a car.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our technicians have all the equipment on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with good clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we simply ask for the present pump prices. We also know that you may not be taking enough cash with you hence you should know that we also accept any major credit card or debit card payments.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

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 often the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to show similar symptoms. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should just be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be done by somebody who knows the appropriate place to put it.

But don’t fret as regardless of whether it is a problem of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still in a position to help you. Through 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. Fuel filters can be possibly broken by water contamination in your fuel. We can fix it for you.

Other Services

Other than draining out the wrong fuel in a vehicle, we deliver other services related to that. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the right and legal way. This is because your average mechanic is not authorized to do it these days because it can easily damage the environment and even contaminate the local water supply.

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.
