The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!




When we get to your vehicle

The very first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your place is to confirm if the issue you reported via our customer service is correct or not - misfuelling. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the vehicle, and in that case, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

Signs of vehicle irregularities cited above are an indication that your car has been filled with wrong fuel. Since we have the needed equipment and fresh fuel, we can fix that problem straight away wherever you are. These three reasons should persuade you why we should serve you. Our mobile technicians are equipped with the right skills and equipment in draining out the incorrect fuel and changing it with fresh fuel. Another reason is that we charge the same price for fresh fuel as that priced in a service station. And the third reason is that we take all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have sufficient cash with you, we will accept payments through any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

Do you know that we offer other services too?

You should also remember that we get rid of contaminated fuel on behalf of our clients. Such contaminated fuels have to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the environment and even pollute local water supplies. We are professional in this field too as we are certified by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this job, both legally and safely.

This is a unique service that we provide to commercial and private customers. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks and also a wide variety of other containers, as long as we can get to them. We subsequently cart away the polluted liquids and properly dump them in accordance with the set procedures and regulations.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

You should also pay attention to the fact that wrong fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but at times the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, like damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in the event of wrong fuel.

.Addition of AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes similar symptoms. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above issues since we can flush the system just like in the case of wrong fuel. So, if your issue is wrong fuel, water contaminated fuel, damaged fuel filters or AdBlue into the wrong tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus allowing you to continue with your journey.

Getting You moving

Don’t be worried about waiting for long considering that our mobile technician will reach you as quickly as possible whilst you go through our services and information, and he should be with you not long from now. We usually take about thirty minutes to solve the issue and enable our clients to hit the road again.

In some instances, having the wrong fuel in the system may cause other issues with the car such as a flat battery or air locks. Still, this should not worry you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

We know how tough it is to overcome moments like this but we are thankful you called us. Our help extended to you means a lot to us. Not only can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.

Wrong Fuel in Car Cobham - Petrol in Diesel Car Cobham

Last friday a youngster phoned us just after his Cobham ground to a halt in the middle of the road. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel motor and managed to drive so far as the street before having to stop. It was really early in the day and our engineer, who stays nearby, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the car. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and we were off to assist an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel Cobham. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and was stranded along a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location in the TomTom and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was working she said, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I'd only just got it a short while ago because my former car, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious 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 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.
