The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!




When we reach your vehicle

First thing that our mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to check your vehicle with the aim of verifying if it is actually the issue of wrong fuel. If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in a vehicle. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If the technician finds out that it is really the case of wrong fuel then he will begin fixing it instantly as he already has the fresh fuel and the needed tools to solve the problem. 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 are aware that you might not be having enough cash with you, but you don’t have to worry since we accept any common debit or credit card thus you can make use of them to pay.

Other Services

Did you know that we also offer other services?

You must also remember that we dispose of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. Under no circumstance should you try to get rid of it yourself since you can easily affect the environment or pollute the nearest water supply. You should let us do it for you since we are not only certified by the Environment Agency but also capable of doing it in the proper way, both legally and safely.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we give to commercial and private customers at a fee. All you need to do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it does not matter whether it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or container since we can get to it and get rid of it safely and securely.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave terribly. It will make it show the same signs as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. This case of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to exhibit similar symptoms. This additive which is used 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 directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be carried out by someone who knows the right place to put it.

Whether it's the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using the same process of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we usually use to solve the issue of wrong fuel in a car. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. As we deal with your fuel trouble, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Wrong Fuel in Car Harrietsham - Petrol in Diesel Car Harrietsham

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Saturday and we were on my way to help an older woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel Harrietsham. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a country road on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd just bought it a couple of days ago when my former one, which I had had for over thirty years, finally died on me". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a precious woman!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Harrietsham - Fuel Rescue Harrietsham

A lady with a full car of little ones in her diesel Harrietsham had put £40 of petrol at the BP filling station. She called us weeping and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that everything would be fine and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the kids in the back."

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.

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 2am and noone was around. It had been rather uneventful so far, and me and Ray were sitting about browsing some old papers. It was a rare restful time. Actually it was indeed so calm that the moment the telephone eventually rang I jumped! The person explained: "I have just concluded my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in my Harrietsham". We told him to tell us where the car was and we set off, arriving under half an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming out so quickly. While we were returning home we spotted two young women on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, to their elation.
