What should be your next course of action?

We are experts in this kind of situation; this is what you should do:

Firstly, don’t panic. Avoid worrying yourself over the situation since it will prevent you from thinking clearly, which in the real sense, won’t fix your problem. Stay calm and rest assured that you are in great hands.

The next point is to not worry too much about your engine, especially whether it's already ruined or not. In 99% of all cases of incorrect fuel in an engine, we can put things right on the side of the road with no lasting damage to your vehicle.

The third thing that you must do is park your vehicle safely and securely if it is on a blind bend, motorway or road summit, so as to make sure that you and your passengers are safe. Also, ensure that you and your passengers have gotten out of the car, and if you were with any pets, just lock them inside the car so as to protect not just their security but also the safety of other road users.

After you are safe be sure to call us immediately. You will be welcomed by one of our hospitable staff who will then ask you a couple of questions aimed at helping you sort the issue out. You can give us a call no matter what time it is because we are available 24 hours everyday. Once you accept the calculated charges of the service, one of our mobile technicians will be sent to your area to sort things out.

And finally, await our technician to arrive. We aim to get one of our nationally based mobile technicians to all of our customers in less than one hour, so one will be with you soon enough.



The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!




On arrival of the technician at your car

Once the technician is with you and has access to your car, his first job is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to wrong fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the vehicle, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

Our technician will be bringing the required equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he learns that it is really the issue of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will right away remove mixed fuel and then change it with fresh fuel, and we won’t charge you extra on the fresh fuel. We also accept all major debit and credit cards as we know your situation and hence there's no need to be scared if you are out of cash.

Other Services

Do you know that we provide other services too?

After dealing with the issue of wrong fuel we also assist you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel. Such contaminated fuels need to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the environment and even pollute local water supplies. You should allow us to do it for you since we are not only authorized by the Environment Agency but also capable of doing it in the proper way, both legally and safely.

Dumping contaminated fuel is a separate service we provide to our clients, either commercial or private firms. If you have a private firm and in need of our service, we only need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other kinds of container. We will then do the rest of the job in accordance to the environmental law specified.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle isn’t the only reason for engine problems. The existence of water in your fuel also makes your car to show similar signs, 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.

.Addition of AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes same symptoms. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

But don’t fret as regardless of whether it is a matter of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still able to help you. By applying the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the problem of wrong fuel in the car, we can let you get back on the road. Additionally, we can help you replace the fuel filters damaged by water contamination so you don’t need to bother about them.

You will soon get back on the road

Now it’s about time to get you moving again, our mobile technician should almost be done by now if he’s been busy working on your car while you were getting to know who we are and what we do. In most situations it takes just about 30 minutes to put things right and get our clients on their way.

In some cases, wrong fuel in a vehicle can result in additional problems such as a flat battery and the presence of air in the fuel system. But our skilled technicians also have the tools and capabilities to put everything right and get you on your way.

Hence, if you had started feeling stressed because of the issue of wrong fuel, at least you are now relieved and prepared to proceed with your journey as if nothing had happened.

Wrong Fuel in Car Horton Kirby - Petrol in Diesel Car Horton Kirby

A gentleman called us to state that he had foolishly piped the wrong fuel into his diesel Horton Kirby. "Shocking! How could I put unleaded in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took our specialist approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel out of the vehicle. He completely purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to get the job properly completed.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Horton Kirby - Fuel Rescue Horton Kirby

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon hiking during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to aid a young family who were on holiday. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their Horton Kirby, and the car was roughly an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed as I listened to the lady berating her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs continuously and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, however he still had an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I waved good bye and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

Ordinary Misfueling Warning signs:

The following is a list of the most common wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Diminished vehicle power
  • Motor stalling, chugging or even hiccuping
  • Issues starting the car
  • Excessive smoking

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.
