The fact that you now know the signs of incorrect fuel in vehicle or have experienced it, it will help you notice the issue if it happens again in future. Engaging in mistakes such as speeding, concentrating on various things and allowing the autopilot do all of it especially when driving a car that you are unfamiliar with for instance a borrowed or hired vehicle is discouraged.

Your fuel might also be contaminated with water

A sputtering engine with low power and a lot of smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. It does not matter whether your vehicle utilizes diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to run roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also be aware of it.

Addition of too much or too low AdBlue to your car tank also results in excessive smoke from the exhaust and a sputtering engine too. But we can help you resolve similar problem. AdBlue is a substance that is added to a vehicle to make the engine work cleaner and should only be added by experts using its specified filler neck and tank to prevent experiencing the above symptoms. You should thus just use it if you are fully aware of its procedure so as to prevent your car from misbehaving due to the incorrect usage of AdBlue. You should thus remember that whether it is incorrect fuel or adding AdBlue directly, we can help you hit back on the road.


Diesel or petrol being very flammable should be managed by an expert with the appropriate equipment. If not, it can cause fire, making the entire situation catastrophic yet it could have been handled easily. You can deal with the problem yourself or hire a friend to do it so as to save cash, but you are advised to get a professional so as to avoid any further fuel related problem.

Furthermore, our technicians are distributed across the country, and they are trained to manage various vehicles and sort various issues at very inexpensive prices and over an amazingly short time.


Environmental Fuel Disposal

We also dispose of contaminated fuel for private individuals and businesses at a charge apart from the fact that we deliver it alongside solution to wrong fuel. If you prefer to work with us to drain, store or get rid of contaminated fuel in a fixed storage tank, mobile bowser, or a selection of containers filled with contaminated fuel, all you should do is grant us access and be assured of safe and legal disposal on your behalf.


In some conditions, our customer may incorrectly diagnose their vehicle as having contaminated fuel. This is not a problem and it happens occasionally so don’t fret. In case like this, our mechanic will still diagnose the actual problem and can sometimes address it. You will be informed of any modifications to the price as a result of added services rendered before they are done.

    • 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.
