After arrival

First thing our technician will do once he arrives at your location is to assess your car so as to confirm if indeed it is the problem of incorrect fuel, and if they find out that it is not, he will only ask you for an updated amount of the quoted price.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your car as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the equipment on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with good clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just charge the current pump prices. And when it's time to pay, we can take all major debit and credit cards, as we understand you may not carry enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the closest cash machine.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your car behave badly. Symptoms cited 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 vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. In cases of wrong fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be changed.

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

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. Whatever caused you to get stranded, we can help you to get back on the road. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

Other Services

Other than incorrect fuel in a car, we also deliver other services associated with it. You should also know about them. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the proper and legal way. This is because your average mechanic is not authorized to do it these days because it can easily degrade the environment and even pollute the local water supply. Not only we are accredited by the Environment Agency, we also have the correct tools for disposing contaminated fuel.

Disposing of contaminated fuel is a separate service we offer to our customers, either commercial or private businesses. If you have a private company and in need of our service, we only need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other kinds of container. We will then do the rest of the job in accordance to the environmental law specified.

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. In most instances it takes about thirty minutes to put things right and get our clients on their way.

If there are any other issues connected to putting wrong fuel in your vehicle, such as a flat battery or air locks in the fuel system, our properly trained technicians have the equipment and abilities to put everything right and get you on your way.

It is our hope that regardless of the stressful experience you have had today we have lessened the inconvenience you experienced and have managed to put you back on the road and on your way to where you have to be.

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.
