Once the mechanic is at your location and has access to your car, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to incorrect fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in a vehicle. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Other Services

Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are authorized to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could degrade the environment and possibly contaminate the local water supply. Our certification from the Environment Agency makes us capable of discarding contaminated fuels the appropriate way and legally.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we offer to commercial and private clients at a fee. As long as we have access to its fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or containers, we can properly get rid of the contaminated liquids at the designed areas.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other reasons for engine troubles aside from wrong fuel in a vehicle. Such symptoms as lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to improve the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. AdBlue contamination can also happen if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Therefore, it should just be utilized by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

Still, there's no need to worry. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can absolutely help you. 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, replacing with fresh fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ashbank - Petrol in Diesel Car Ashbank

A somewhat concerned motorist phoned us from the Shell petrol station to tell us that he put petrol in to his diesel Ashbank; he wasn't actually sure how he'd managed to do it. We informed him it was absolutely no worry and rapidly had our engineer with him to clear the contaminated fuel from his tank. Having removed the wrong fuel, he was almost immediately back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the person who arrived to undertake the fuel drain was incredibly fantastic - he didn't make me look and feel like an idiot."

A customer working nearby called us as soon as she had managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ashbank and, like plenty prior to her, thought that she could basically fill up the vehicle with diesel and it would be okay. The engine was chugging and then it died when she came to the the front of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it fixed within an hour or so while she was at work. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm really glad you repaired my car."

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.
