We are very considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we do not insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Other Services

Other than wrong fuel in a vehicle, we also offer other services associated with it. You should also know about them. For instance, we do assist our customers dispose of contaminated fuel. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not allowed to anyone unless you are authorized to do so.

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 wrong fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

The same set of signs may also be due to somebody attempting to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

It was just before 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting talking about the football results, ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage and filled petrol in a diesel Oakhurst rental car by mistake. She was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was just a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and less worried. Yet another fuel drain done well in my opinion!

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.
