There are generally three reasons which could have put you in such a situation.: It's either you were in a rush, or you used the fuel without focusing on what you were doing, or you are unfamiliar with the car you are using and pumped the incorrect fuel.

On arrival of the technician at your location

The 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 the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in the car. You won't be charged for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If, as it is in most cases, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is fully equipped and knowledgeable to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct type of fuel. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the present pump price. We also understand 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.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

There are other factors that cause engine problems aside from filling your car with the wrong fuel. The presence of water in your fuel also makes your car to show similar symptoms, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. This is a serious problem that can totally damage the fuel filters.

One more thing which can cause similar symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above problems since we can flush the system just like in the case of wrong fuel. We are always there to fix your vehicle and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

Did you Know

You might be wondering how else we might be of assistance to you.

Nowadays, such fuel should be disposed of correctly since pouring it out might pollute the surroundings and the local water supply. But we can handle it for you since we have the ideal tools, and we are authorized by the Environment Agency to do so.

It is also a service that we give separately to commercial and private clients at a fee. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks as well as a wide variety of other containers, as long as we can get to them.

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.
