The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!




Upon our arrival

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile mechanics, he will first diagnose the situation before doing anything. If in the rare occasion he discovers that the problem is not a case of having the incorrect kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the vehicle and you will only be charged a nominal call out charge.

The above signs are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a car and if we find out that yours is the same problem, we will deal with it immediately since our technicians carry the required equipment and fresh fuel with them. You should choose us because of these three reasons. First of all, our teams are experienced in managing your situation and can get you back on the road very quickly. Another reason is that we ask for the same price for fresh fuel as that priced in a gas station. And the third reason is that we take all types of payment, hence if you don’t have ample cash with you, we will accept payments via any major debit or credit card.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Besides wrong fuel, water can also cause same symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But you must also remember that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

A diesel-powered car may also exhibit such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue straight into the vehicle’s fuel tank. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your car. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. As we deal with your fuel trouble, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Just had a good night of sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Sunday and I was on my way to assist an older sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Barming Heath. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a backwater lane on route to see her godchildren. I got her location punched into the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I turned up at the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only got it a short while ago right after my previous one, which I used for more than 30 years, inevitably broke down". I completed the job and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful lady!

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  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.
  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 anywhere in Kent to 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.
