The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!




On arrival of the mechanic at your location

The first thing that our mobile technician will do when he reaches you is to inspect your vehicle with the aim of confirming if it is actually the problem of incorrect fuel. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in the car. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Our technician will be carrying the required equipment and fresh fuel with him so if he finds out that it is really the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will right away remove mixed fuel and then change it with fresh fuel, and we won’t charge you extra on the fresh fuel. We also take all major debit and credit cards as we understand your situation and hence there's no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

Other Services

Did you Know

You might be wondering how else we might be of assistance to you.

Once our mobile mechanic has emptied out the wrong fuel, they have a full tank of contaminated fuel which needs to be disposed of. These days, such fuel should be dumped properly since pouring it out might contaminate the surroundings and the local water supply. But we can manage it for you since we have the best equipment, and we are certified by the Environment Agency to do so.

Getting rid of the contaminated fuel is a totally different service that we provide to our private and commercial customers at some fee. All you need to do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it does not 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 safely and securely.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Other than wrong fuel, water can also cause similar symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, such as damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in case of wrong fuel.

The same set of symptoms may also be due to somebody attempting to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

But you do not have to fret since we can fix both problems for you by applying similar procedure used in solving the problem of wrong fuel. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is an issue of the incorrect fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

On Your Way

Now it’s time to get you moving again, our mobile mechanic should almost be done by now if he’s been busy working on your car while you were getting to know who we are and what we do. We usually take about thirty minutes to fix the issue and enable our clients to hit the road again.

In some cases, having the wrong fuel in the system may cause other issues with a vehicle such as a flat battery or air locks. But you also don’t need to worry since we also have the equipment and skills to use in sorting them out so as to let you continue with your journey.

We know that you went through a tough moment today, but since you decided to give us a call, we are able to restore your peace of mind by immediately getting you back to your journey.

Wrong Fuel in Car Gover Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Gover Hill

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Gover Hill. I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and was with her within an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I had only got it a few days back when my old one, which I'd used for about thirty years, finally died on me". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant woman!

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.
