When we reach your location

Once the technician is at your location and has access to your car, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to wrong 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 be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If, as it is in most cases, it is a problem of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is fully equipped and knowledgeable to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the car with the correct kind of fuel. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the current pump price. We also understand that you may not be carrying enough cash with you hence you should know that we also accept any major credit card or debit card payments.

Other Services

We also provide other services besides fixing the issue of wrong fuel

You should also note that we dispose of contaminated fuel on behalf of our customers. Under no circumstance should you try to get rid of it yourself since you can quickly affect the environment or pollute the nearest water supply. We are also professionals in this field and are authorized by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

This is a unique service that we provide to commercial and private customers. We have the ability to drain many types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are found.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Other than 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 you must also note that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

You can also notice the same symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should just be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be done by someone who knows the right place to put it.

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 wrong fuel in your vehicle.
