After arrival

First thing our technician will do once he arrives at your vehicle is to inspect your car so as to verify if indeed it is the problem of wrong fuel, and if they find out that it is not, he will just charge you an updated amount of the quoted price.

Our technician will be carrying the required tools and fresh fuel with him so if he finds out that it is actually the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will take away the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it up 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's no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

There are other causes of engine problems besides filling your car with the wrong fuel. The presence 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. Water is also likely to cause irreparable damage to fuel filters.

.Addition of AdBlue straight into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes similar symptoms. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the vehicle.

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.

A driver with her youngsters in her diesel Ightham Common had put £20 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She called us weeping and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what might happen to her car because of it. We told her that everything should be fine and that she would be back in action in no time at all. When we got there she was still distressed but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the youngsters on board."
