On arrival of the technician at your car

First thing that our mobile technician will do when he reaches you is to inspect your car with the aim of verifying if it is actually the problem of wrong fuel. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the incorrect fuel in the vehicle, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

Signs of vehicle irregularities mentioned above are an indication that your vehicle has been pumped with incorrect fuel. Since we carry the necessary equipment and fresh fuel, we can fix that issue right away wherever you are. These three reasons should convince you why we should serve you. First of all, our teams are knowledgeable in handling your situation and can get you back on the road in no time. The second reason is that we ask for the same price for fresh fuel as that priced in a petrol station. And the third reason is that we allow all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have ample cash with you, we will accept payments through any major debit or credit card.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your car function badly. Symptoms cited 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 appearing out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution used to enhance the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. Utilizing AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should only be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above issues since we can flush the system just like in the case of incorrect fuel. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the incorrect fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

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.
