The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!




When we reach your vehicle

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

If our technician learns that it is indeed the problem of incorrect fuel, he will start solving it quickly since he will have fresh fuel as well as the essential equipment with him. He will instantly remove mixed fuel and then change it with fresh fuel, and we won’t ask you for extra on the fresh fuel. You also do not have to worry if you don't have sufficient cash with you, we understand your situation and we will take any major debit or credit card.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Besides wrong fuel, water can also cause same signs, 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 unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

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

We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it is an AdBlue problem or fuel contaminated with water. We can get you back to your journey after we do the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel. Fuel filters can be possibly broken by water contamination in your fuel. We can fix it for you.

Other Services

Besides draining out the wrong fuel in a vehicle, we provide other services related to that. For instance, we do help our customers get rid of contaminated fuel. This is because your average mechanic is not authorized to do it nowadays because it can easily degrade the environment and even pollute the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not merely certified by the Environment Agency but also have the best equipment for it.

We provide this as a service in itself to both business and private customers. We have the capacity to drain many types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are found. We subsequently cart away the contaminated liquids and safely get rid of them according to the laid down procedures and regulations.

On Your Way

Talking of getting you on your way, if our mobile mechanic has been beavering away whilst you have been learning more about our services, he is likely to be close to finishing now. We usually take about thirty minutes to solve the issue and enable our clients to hit the road again.

Wrong fuel in a car might also cause additional issues which include flat batteries and air locks in the fuel system. But you also don’t need to worry since we also have the tools and abilities to utilize in sorting them out so as to enable you to continue with your journey.

We understand how hard it is to overcome moments like this but we are happy you contacted us. Our help extended to you means a lot to us. Not just can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.
