After arrival

Once our skilled technician arrives at your vehicle he will check your car to confirm if it is really the case of incorrect fuel in the vehicle. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will just ask you for a minimal cost.

If our technician discovers that it is indeed the issue of incorrect fuel, he will start solving it quickly since he will have fresh fuel as well as the needed tools with him. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and refill the tank with fresh fuel priced just 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 is no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

Other Services

Did you Know

You might also wish to know if we provide other services aside from dealing with the issue of incorrect fuel.

Once our mobile technician has emptied out the wrong fuel, they have a full tank of contaminated fuel which must be disposed of. These days, there is a serious issue that such fuel could severely damage the environment or even pollute the water supply so you are not permitted to casually dump it anywhere. We are Environmental Agency Certified and have the necessary know-how and tools to dispose of contaminated fuel.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we deliver to commercial and private clients at a fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given locations, we can easily get rid of the contaminated fuels safely.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your car function badly. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the incorrect fuel can also be noticed 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.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle 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 car rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who knows nothing of AdBlue, the outcome would be bad for the engine.

If you are faced with these two issues then you shouldn't feel worried because we can solve both of these issues using the same procedure we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. It doesn't matter if the issue is wrong fuel, damaged fuel filters, water contaminated fuel or the incorrect usage of AdBlue, we can help fix your car so as to allow 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 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.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Saturday and we were on the way to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel Newnham. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up on a rural road on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was working she explained, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel since I had only just got it a week back when my other one, which I had used for over thirty years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant lady!
