Upon arrival

Upon arrival, our competent technician will first check out your car to make sure that it is the issue of wrong fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will just ask you for a nominal amount.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our technicians have all the equipment on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with good clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just charge the current pump prices. We also understand that you may not be having enough cash with you hence you should know that we also take any major credit card or debit card payments.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other reasons for engine troubles apart from wrong fuel in a vehicle. Such symptoms as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.

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

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it's an AdBlue issue or fuel contaminated with water. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel.

We have all it takes to do so since we are not just accredited by the Environment Agency but also have the ideal equipment for it.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is another separate service that we give to commercial and private customers at a fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given locations, we can easily get rid of contaminated fuels safely.

Wrong Fuel in Car Leigh Green - Petrol in Diesel Car Leigh Green

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Monday and we were off to assist an older sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Leigh Green. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and broken down on a backwater lane on route to see her family. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she told me, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it several days ago because my previous car, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, finally broke down". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful lady!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Leigh Green - Fuel Rescue Leigh Green

Now I am not necessarily overly enthusiastic about running weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed home after having a fantastic roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was on the way to help a fellow because he filled the wrong fuel in his Leigh Green. He was somewhere nearby and so I arrived with him rapidly. Just as I arrived at the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and didn't grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created some damage by running it?" I stated that generally there should not be harm and also that I would personally drain the wrong fuel as soon as possible for him. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another happy customer had the ability to carry on with his trip without any subsequent hassle. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what tends to make working on Sundays just that small bit less painful to me!

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.
