On getting to your vehicle

First thing the mobile mechanic will do when he gets to you is to check the problem. If in the rare occasion he discovers that the problem is not a case of having the incorrect kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the vehicle and you will only be charged a nominal call out charge.

If our technician learns that it is indeed the issue of wrong fuel, he will start solving it instantly since he will have fresh fuel as well as the necessary tools 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. We also accept all major debit and credit cards as we understand your situation and hence there is no need to be scared if you are out of cash.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also pay attention to the fact that wrong 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 car produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But you must also note that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to show similar symptoms. This additive which is utilized 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 directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be done by somebody who knows the correct place to put it.

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:

• 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.
