When we reach your vehicle

First thing that our mobile mechanic will do when he reaches you is to inspect your car with the aim of verifying if it is actually the issue of incorrect fuel. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the incorrect fuel in the car, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

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 experienced to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct type of fuel. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we simply charge the present pump prices. And when it's time to pay, we can accept all major credit and debit cards, as we understand you may not carry enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

Other Services

Other than incorrect fuel in a car, we also offer other services associated with it. You should also be aware of them. For instance, we do help our customers dispose of contaminated fuel. Getting rid of this contaminated fuel is not permitted to anyone unless you are authorized to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly pollute the local water supply. Our certification from the Environment Agency makes us capable of discarding contaminated fuels the proper way and legally.

We provide this as a service in itself to both business and private customers. All you should do is give us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or other container, we will drain it. We can then get rid of the contaminated liquids, and dispose of them securely to the relevant regulations.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also take note of the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal manner, but often the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But you must also remember that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

AdBlue if added incorrectly it can also exhibit similar signs in your vehicle. This additive which is utilized to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. Hence if someone who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

If you are faced with either of these two problems then you shouldn't feel worried because we can handle both of these issues using the same procedure we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the incorrect fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

We will reach your location soon. But if a couple of minutes is still too long for you to wait, you may redirect your attention through browsing other services that we provide. For sure we'll arrive imminently. Also, know that it shouldn’t take us more than 30 minutes to solve the issue, so you can be certain to carry on with your journey soon.

Often wrong fuel in the car can also result in more problems, like the presence of air in the fuel system or a flat battery. But our experts have all the abilities and equipment to put it all right and get you back on the road.

Hence, if you had started feeling stressed because of the issue of wrong fuel, at least you're now relieved and able to proceed with your journey as if nothing had happened.

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.

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.

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.
