Upon our arrival

Once our mobile mechanic arrives, he will assess the situation before taking any action. And if he finds out that it is not the problem of wrong fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will only be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of wrong fuel in a car.

If, as it is in most situations, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is completely equipped and knowledgeable to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the vehicle with the correct type of fuel. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge the same price as any gasoline station. We are very considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we don't insist on cash but allow all the major debit and credit cards.

Other Services

Are you aware?

You may be interested to know the other services we provide too.

At the end of the day, our technician will be carrying a tank-full of contaminated fuel they have drained from a few vehicles that will need to be disposed of. Nowadays, there is a serious concern that such fuel could severely harm the environment or even pollute the water supply so you are not allowed to casually dump it anywhere. We are Environmental Agency Certified and have the necessary know-how and equipment to dispose of contaminated fuel.

Disposing of the contaminated fuel is a completely different service that we offer to our private and commercial customers at some fee. All you should do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it doesn't matter whether it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or container since we can get to it and get rid of it properly.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your vehicle function badly. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the incorrect fuel can also be observed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. This case of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

The same set of symptoms may also be due to somebody attempting to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it is an AdBlue problem or fuel contaminated with water. 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. Additionally, we can help you replace the fuel filters broken by water contamination so you don’t have to worry about them.

Wrong fuel in the car might also cause additional issues which include flat batteries and air locks in the fuel system. Still, this should not worry you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

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.
