After arrival

Once our skilled technician arrives at your location he will check out your car 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 only ask you for a nominal fee.

If, as it is in most cases, it is a problem of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is fully equipped and knowledgeable to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the car with the correct kind of fuel. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just ask for the current pump prices. And when it is time to pay, we can take all major credit and debit cards, as we understand you may not bring enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

Other Services

Besides draining out the wrong fuel in a car, we offer other services related to that. To name one is getting rid of the contaminated fuel the proper and legal way. Getting rid of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are qualified to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could degrade the environment and possibly contaminate the local water supply. Our certification from the Environment Agency makes us capable of disposing contaminated fuels the proper way and legally.

We provide this as a service in itself to both business and private customers. We have the capacity to drain various types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are located. We subsequently cart away the polluted liquids and properly get rid of them in accordance with the laid down procedures and laws.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your vehicle behave badly. It will make it exhibit similar signs 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.

Another thing which can cause similar symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue contamination can also occur if it is used by someone who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

Still, there's no need to worry. Whatever engine problem you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can certainly help you. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel. Other than that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can replace them on the spot. You don't need to call for another provider to do that.

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.
