When we reach your vehicle

Once the mechanic is with you and has access to your vehicle, his first work is to confirm whether the problem of your car is caused by wrong fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in the car. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If it is really the issue of wrong fuel in a car, our mechanic will solve it quickly since he carries the equipment for flushing out the wrong fuel and filling up the tank with the correct fuel.

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

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

There are other factors that cause engine problems aside from filling your car with the wrong fuel. Such signs as lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Water is also likely to cause irreparable damage to fuel filters.

You can also observe the same symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your vehicle to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added straight away to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's exactly why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. Hence if someone who is not aware of this procedure tries to add it to the fuel, it will result in engine trouble.

But don’t worry as regardless of whether it is a matter of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still able to help you. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel.

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.
