Once we reach your site

Upon arrival, our competent technician will first inspect your car to ensure that it is the problem of wrong fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will only charge you a nominal amount.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a car and if we find out that yours is the same issue, we will deal with it instantly since our technicians bring the essential tools and fresh fuel with them. There are three major reasons why you should pick us. The first reason is that we've got the skills to empty out the wrong fuel and change it out with the right fuel. Another reason is that we ask for the same price for fresh fuel as that charged in a gas station. And the third reason is that we take all types of payment, hence if you don’t have sufficient cash with you, we will take payments through any major credit or debit card.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other causes of engine problems aside from filling your car with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause very similar symptoms of lack of power, irregular running, a lot of smoke and stalling. This is a serious issue that can totally cause harm to the fuel filters.

One more thing which can cause similar signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Using AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. 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 issues since we can flush the system just like in the case of incorrect fuel. We are always there to fix your car 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.

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 anywhere in Kent to 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.
