The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!




Once we reach your site

First thing our technician will do once he arrives at your location is to assess your car so as to verify if indeed it is the problem of incorrect fuel, and if they discover that it is not, he will only ask you for an updated amount of the quoted price.

If our technician discovers that it is indeed the issue of incorrect fuel, he will start solving it right away since he will have fresh fuel as well as the essential tools with him. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and then replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the fuel station. You also do not have to worry if you don't have ample money with you, we know your situation and we will accept any major credit or debit card.

Other Services

We also offer other services aside from fixing the issue of incorrect fuel

After solving the problem of wrong fuel we also help you with other services like disposal of contaminated fuel. Under no circumstance should you try to get rid of it yourself since you can easily affect the environment or pollute the closest water supply. You should let us do it for you since we are not just authorized by the Environment Agency but also capable of doing it in the proper way, both legally and safely.

This is a unique service that we offer to commercial and private clients. All you have to do is grant us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or any other container, we will drain it. We subsequently cart away the polluted liquids and properly dump them in accordance with the laid down procedures and regulations.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your vehicle behave badly. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be observed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

A diesel-powered car may also show such signs when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

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. We are always there to fix your vehicle and get you back on the road no matter if it is an issue of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

On Your Way

Now it’s time to get you moving again, our mobile technician should almost be done by now if he’s been busy working on your vehicle while you were finding out who we are and what we do. In most cases it takes just about thirty minutes to put things right and get our customers on their way.

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

It is our hope that regardless of the traumatic experience you have had today we have lessened the inconvenience you experienced and have managed to put you back on the road and on your way to where you need to be.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lower Higham - Fuel Rescue Lower Higham

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a rainy Saturday and we were on my way to help an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Lower Higham. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up along a backwater road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was working she said, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a couple of days ago because my previous one, which I owned for more than 30 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a precious lady!

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.
