Upon our arrival

And if he discovers that it is not the issue of incorrect 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 incorrect fuel in a car.

If it is really the problem of wrong fuel in a car, our technician will solve it instantly since he carries the tools for flushing out the wrong fuel and refilling the tank with the correct fuel. You should not worry that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the current pump price.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave terribly. It will make it exhibit similar symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. In cases of wrong fuel, the fuel filter won't be affected. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

AdBlue is a solution which is used remove toxic gases from the engine's exhaust, and if it is put in the diesel tank then it can also cause the same problems. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

In both of the cases above, we can offer 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. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

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.
