After arrival

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

If the technician discovers that it is really the case of wrong fuel then he will begin fixing it quickly as he already has the fresh fuel and the required equipment to solve the problem. He will drain out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and then refill the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the gasoline station. You also don't need to fret if you don't have ample money with you, we understand your situation and we will accept any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

Other than incorrect fuel in the car, we also offer other services related to it. You should also know about them. For instance, we do help our clients dispose of contaminated fuel. This is because your average mechanic is not authorized to do it nowadays because it can easily damage the environment and even contaminate the local water supply. Not only we are accredited by the Environment Agency, we also have the best equipment for discarding contaminated fuel.

We offer this as a service in itself to both commercial and private customers. We have the capacity to drain various types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are found. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and get rid of it safely and securely to the right regulations.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other causes of engine problems aside from filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Fuel contaminated with water will also cause similar signs of lack of power, irregular running, a lot of smoke and stalling. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

The same set of signs may also be caused by somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, just like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. So, regardless of what the cause we can get you on your way. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

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.
