Upon arrival

First thing our technician will do once he reaches your location is to inspect your car so as to confirm if indeed it is the problem of incorrect fuel, and if they discover that it is not, he will only charge you an updated amount of the quoted price.

If, as it is in most cases, it is an issue 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 vehicle with the correct kind of fuel. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge the same price as any gasoline station. And when it's time to pay, we can accept all major debit and credit cards, as we understand you may not carry enough cash and have possibly stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

Other Services

We also give other services aside from fixing the issue of wrong fuel

After solving the problem of wrong fuel we also assist you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel. Under no circumstance should you try to get rid of it yourself since you can easily affect the environment or pollute the nearest water supply. We are also experts in this field and are certified by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

Dumping the contaminated fuel is also a service of its own which we deliver to private and commercial customers. If you have a private company and in need of our service, we just need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other types of container. We will then do the rest of the job in accordance to the environmental law specified.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

There are other factors that cause engine problems besides filling your vehicle with the wrong fuel. Such signs as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. 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. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it's an AdBlue issue or fuel contaminated with water. 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, priming with fresh fuel. Besides that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can change them out on the spot. You don't need to call for another provider to do that.

Getting You moving

Talking of getting you on your way, if our mobile technician has been beavering away whilst you have been finding out more about our services, he is likely to be close to finishing now. In most instances it takes just about 30 minutes to put things right and get our clients on their way.

Rest assured also that we also solve other issues resulting from wrong fuel, such as the existence of air in the fuel system or even a low battery, and that we have the expertise and tools to make it right.

Thus, if you had started feeling stressed due to the issue of wrong fuel, at least you are now relieved and prepared to proceed with your journey as if nothing had happened.

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 and 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.
