Upon arrival

Upon arrival, our experienced technician will first check out your car to make sure that it is the issue of incorrect fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will only ask you for a nominal amount.

If the technician finds out that it is truly the case of wrong fuel then he will begin fixing it right away as he already has the fresh fuel and the required equipment to solve the problem. He will remove the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station. We are aware that you might not be having enough money with you, but you don’t have to worry since we accept any common debit or credit card thus you can use them to pay.

Other Services

This could be of interest to you.

You may be interested to find out the other services we provide too.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems throughout the day, they will have a tank filled with contaminated fuel they have to get rid of. You aren’t allowed to pour such things these days as it will pollute waterways and have a dangerous effect on the environment, and may even contaminate the local water supply. But we can deal with it for you since we have the ideal equipment, and we are certified by the Environment Agency to do so.

Disposing of contaminated fuel is a separate service we provide to our clients, either commercial or private businesses. If you have a private company and in need of our service, we only need full access to your tank, either fixed or mobile or other types of container. We will then do the rest of the work in accordance to the environmental law specified.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you should also suspect it. But you must also remember that water can cause other serious damages such as damage to fuel filters.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to display similar symptoms. This additive which is utilized to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be done by someone who knows the right place to put it.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the wrong fuel in your vehicle. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. As we deal with your fuel problem, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Be prepared to get back on the road soon

Don't worry about staying stuck on the road for long since we always try our very best to finish the job within 30 minutes. So try having our services as our mobile technician tries to deal with your issue. We promise to get you on your way as soon as possible.

If there are any other issues connected to putting incorrect fuel in your vehicle, such as a flat battery or air locks in the fuel system, our properly trained technicians have the equipment and skills to put everything right and get you on your way.

We know that the day has been really stressful, but we do hope that we have helped you stay relieved and enabled you to carry on with the journey with ease.

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.
