On arrival of the mechanic at your car

Once the technician is with you and has access to your vehicle, his first work is to confirm whether the problem of your car is caused by incorrect fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in a vehicle. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Our technician will be bringing the necessary tools and fresh fuel with him so if he discovers that it is actually the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will remove 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. You also don't need to worry if you don't have enough money with you, we understand your situation and we will take any major debit or credit card.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other reasons for engine problems besides wrong fuel in a car. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause very similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke and stalling. This is a serious problem that can completely deteriorate the fuel filters.

You can also observe similar signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added straight to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. Hence if someone who is not aware of this process tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above problems since we can flush the system just like in the case of wrong fuel. We are always there to fix your vehicle and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

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.
