Once we arrive

And when it's time to pay, we can accept all major debit and credit cards, as we understand you may not bring enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Other Services

Aside from draining out the wrong fuel in a vehicle, we offer other services related to that. For instance, we do help our clients get rid of contaminated fuel. This is because your average mechanic is not authorized to do it nowadays because it can easily degrade the environment and even contaminate the local water supply. Not only we are authorized by the Environment Agency, we also have the appropriate tools for disposing contaminated fuel.

We provide this as a service in itself to both business and private customers. We have the capacity to drain many types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are found.

Such symptoms as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. This is a serious issue that can completely deteriorate the fuel filters.

AdBlue if added wrongly it can also exhibit the same signs in your car. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be carried out by someone who knows the appropriate place to put it.

Whether it's the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using similar procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we usually use to solve the issue of incorrect fuel in a car.

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.
