We can help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will fix any of the standard problems which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

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.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.
