Other Services

Other than incorrect fuel in a car, we also deliver other services associated with it. You should also know about them. For instance, we do help our clients get rid of contaminated fuel. This is because your average mechanic is not allowed to do it these days because it can quickly degrade the environment and even pollute the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not merely accredited by the Environment Agency but also have the best equipment for it.

To our customers in the private or commercial field, we offer this service of disposing contaminated fuel separately. If you have a private company and in need of our service, we just 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.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your car behave badly. It will make it show 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.

AdBlue is a solution which is used remove hazardous gases from the engine's exhaust, and if it is put in the diesel tank then it can also cause exactly the same issues. Using AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your car behave abnormally. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

In these situations, we can give the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, just like in the case of filling your tank with the incorrect fuel. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters destroyed by water.

Just wait for a moment and we will be there. If you were already growing impatient as you go through our services, you can rest be assured that we will be with you as soon as possible. Also, know that it shouldn’t take us more than thirty minutes to solve the issue, so you can be certain to continue with your journey soon.

Incorrect fuel in the tank may possibly lead to other issues such as air getting into the fuel system or even a flat battery. But you also don’t need to worry since we also have the equipment and skills to utilize in sorting them out so as to let you continue with your journey.

We know how tough it is to overcome moments like this but we are pleased 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.

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.
