This really was what is called the night shift. It was close to sunrise and noone was about. It had become quite dead up to now, and Paul and I were loafing around perusing some old magazines. This was a rare restful time. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that the moment my mobile finally rang I jumped! The customer told me: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in a Lower Upnor". We got him to let us know where exactly he was and we hit the road, getting to him no more than an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said thanks for arriving so rapidly. As we were heading back home we noticed two young women on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. As a result we stopped to change it, to their elation.

Other Services

Did you Know

You might also wish to find out if we provide other services besides handling the problem of wrong fuel.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems throughout the day, they will have a tank full of contaminated fuel they need to dispose of. Nowadays, such fuel must be discarded appropriately since pouring it out might pollute the surroundings and the local water supply. But we can deal with it for you since we have the best tools, and we are accredited by the Environment Agency to do so.

If you are a commercial or private customer in need of safe disposal of contaminated fuel, then you can rest assured that you are also in the right place. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given areas, we can quickly get rid of contaminated fuels safely.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause same signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as irreparable damage to the fuel filters.

A diesel-powered car may also exhibit such signs when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

In both of the cases above, we can offer the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. As we deal with your fuel problem, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

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.
