Once we arrive

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile mechanics, he will first diagnose the problem before doing anything. 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 just be charged a nominal call out charge.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your car as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the equipment on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the current pump price. We also know that you may not be having enough money with you hence you should know that we also accept any major credit card or debit card payments.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also pay attention to the fact that wrong fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal manner, but sometimes the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But you must also remember that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

The same set of signs may also be caused by somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

Whether it's the issue of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using similar procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the issue of incorrect fuel in a car. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

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.
