The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!




When we reach your location

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

If the technician discovers that it is really the case of wrong fuel then he will begin fixing it right away as he already has the fresh fuel and the needed equipment to fix the problem. He will drain out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced the same as that charged in the petrol station. We also accept all major debit and credit cards as we know your situation and hence there's no need to be scared if you are out of cash.

Other Services

We also provide other services besides fixing the issue of incorrect fuel

Such contaminated fuels need to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the environment and even pollute local water supplies. We are also experts in this field and are authorized by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

It is also a service that we provide separately to commercial and private clients at a fee. All you need to do is grant us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or other container, we will drain it.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will start to be shown by your engine. It will make it exhibit the same symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. This situation of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

You can also notice similar symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. However, if this is added directly to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's the reason why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. Hence if someone who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above issues since we can flush the system just like in the case of wrong fuel. It doesn't matter if the issue is incorrect fuel, broken fuel filters, water contaminated fuel or the incorrect usage of AdBlue, we can assist fix your vehicle so as to enable you to hit the road again.

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.
