On arrival of the technician at your car

The very first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your place is to confirm if the issue you reported via our customer care is correct or not - misfuelling. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out 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.

If it is really the issue of wrong fuel in a car, our technician will solve it quickly since he carries the tools for flushing out the wrong fuel and filling up the tank with the correct fuel. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly like the present pump price. We also understand that you may not be carrying enough money with you hence you should know that we also take any major credit card or debit card payments.

Other Services

This could be of interest to you.

You may be curious to find out the other services we offer too.

At the end of the day, our technician will be taking a tank-full of contaminated fuel they have drained from a few vehicles that will need to be disposed of. These days, such fuel must be disposed of correctly since pouring it out might contaminate the surroundings and the local water supply. We are completely equipped, and Environment Agency certified to securely dump contaminated fuel.

Getting rid of the contaminated fuel is a completely different service that we provide to our private and commercial clients at some fee. All you need to do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it does not matter whether it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or container since we can get to it and get rid of it properly.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will start to be shown by your engine. It will make it exhibit similar symptoms as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be affected. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

Yet another thing which can cause similar symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also happen if it is used by somebody who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Hence, it should only be used by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

Still, there's no need to fret. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can certainly help you. 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, replacing with fresh fuel. Fuel filters can be possibly broken by water contamination in your fuel. We can fix it for you.

You will soon get back on the road

Talking of getting you on your way, if our mobile mechanic has been beavering away whilst you have been finding out more about our services, he is likely to be close to finishing now. We usually take about 30 minutes to fix the issue and enable our clients to hit the road again.

Our highly trained technicians also have the tools and know-how to help you fix other issues resulting from incorrect fuel, which include: flat battery and air locks in the fuel system, so you won’t be stranded on the road because of them.

So, today has been a bit of a headache, but hopefully, we have minimized the pain and stress, and got you back on the way immediately.

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.
