The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!




On getting to your location

Once our mobile mechanic arrives, he will check the situation before taking any action. And if he discovers that it is not the issue of wrong fuel in the car, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of incorrect fuel in a car.

The above signs are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a vehicle and if we find out that yours is the same problem, we will deal with it immediately since our technicians bring the essential equipment and fresh fuel with them. There are three primary reasons why you should go for us. First of all, our teams are skilled in handling your situation and can get you back on the road quickly. The second reason is that we charge the similar price for fresh fuel as that charged in a service station. And the third reason is that we take all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have enough cash with you, we will allow payments through any major debit or credit card.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should know that wrong fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your car produce a lot of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as irreparable damage to the fuel filters.

AdBlue if added incorrectly it can also show the same symptoms in your car. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nonetheless, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. Hence if someone who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

But you don't need to fret since we can fix both problems for you by applying the same procedure used in solving the matter of wrong fuel. So, if your issue is incorrect fuel, water contaminated fuel, damaged fuel filters or AdBlue into the wrong tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus enabling you to continue with your journey.

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 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.
