Other Fuel Services

Aside from wrong fuel in the car, we also offer other related services such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Many people don't consider disposal to be a relevant service but it's one of the more demanding aspects of the job. For starters, you have to be tested and authorized by the Environment agency before you can even try to dump contaminated fuel and this in no way guarantees that you will have the ability and discipline to stick to the strict code of conduct and regulations spelled out by the agency. This service is readily available to both private and commercial customers. Therefore, your wish is our command and we'll happily dump any contaminated fuel whether it is in a container, trailer load, or a fixed big capacity tank. All this is done both safely and legally, not to mention at very competitive costs.

Furthermore, we are well-versed in other issues that may negatively impact the normal performance of your car's fuel system. An example is if you add any unwanted liquid, say water that may contaminate the fuel in the system. Despite AdBlue being the most chosen diesel emission cleaner, it wouldn't be a great idea to add it to the fuel system since it may bring about engine malfunction. To avoid all this, it's very recommended to have an expert who knows what to do and have you running again.

Rest assured that our mechanics are capable of solving the problem of water and AdBlue. Our secret lies in our great know-how and contemporary equipment that help us get you back on the road in record time.

Wrong Fuel in Car Higham Common - Petrol in Diesel Car Higham Common

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Saturday and I was en route to assist an elder woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Higham Common. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was stranded along a country lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel since I had only purchased it a short while ago right after my previous one, which I had had for over thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a precious lady!
