When we get to your location

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

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your car 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 replenish it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we simply ask for the present pump prices. We also understand that you may not be having enough cash with you hence you should know that we also accept any major credit card or debit card payments.

Other Services

Are you aware that we also provide other services?

We also deliver other services to our clients after dealing with the problem of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. The contaminated fuel shouldn't be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by an expert in this industry because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the surroundings. We are expert in this field too as we are certified by Environment agency and we have the right equipment to do this work, both legally and safely.

It is also a service that we give separately to business and private customers at a fee. We have the ability to drain various types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are located. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and get rid of it safely to the right regulations.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also take note of the fact that wrong fuel is not the only problem which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but sometimes the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as irreparable damage to the fuel filters.

AdBlue if added improperly it can also exhibit similar signs in your vehicle. This additive which is utilized to purify the emissions of your engine should just be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be done by somebody who knows the right place to put it.

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 doesn't matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

We'll be there very quickly. But if a couple of minutes is still too long for you to wait, you may redirect your attention through browsing other services that we offer. For sure we'll arrive imminently. Also, know that it shouldn’t take us more than thirty minutes to solve the issue, so you can be sure to carry on with your journey soon.

It was just before 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were resting there discussing the tennis results, ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage and filled petrol in her diesel Great Mongeham rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to move the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and less concerned. One more job well done in my books!
