The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!




Upon arrival

Once our competent technician reaches your location he will assess your vehicle to verify if it is really the case of wrong fuel in the car. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will just ask you for a nominal fee.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the tools on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with good clean fuel of the correct type. You should not worry that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the current pump price. And when it's time to pay, we can take all major credit and debit cards, as we know you may not bring enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Other Services

Do you know that we provide other services too?

You should also remember that we dispose 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 surroundings and even pollute local water supplies. We are professional in this field too as we are accredited by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this job, both legally and safely.

It is also a service that we provide separately to business and private customers at a fee. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks and also a wide variety of other containers, as long as we can reach them. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and dump it safely and securely to the right regulations.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your vehicle function badly. It will make it display similar symptoms as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. This case of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution used to enhance the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above symptoms. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by somebody who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Therefore, it should only be utilized by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

If you are faced with these two problems then you shouldn't feel worried because we can solve both of these problems utilizing similar process we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. We are always there to fix your vehicle and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the incorrect fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

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.

A guy broken down on a street had to have a fuel drain roughly a few weeks ago. His Fairbourne Heath was broken down roadside after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was calm when he rang us but a little worried to get his car from the road as he was causing some congestion. We were on scene inside a quarter-hour as our drainer had concluded a fuel drain. He said, "I simply can not believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and broke down ! My car was so spluttery I simply were forced to pull over and subsequently it died."
