After arrival

The first thing that our technician will do once he arrives at your location is to check out your car so as to confirm if indeed it is the issue of incorrect fuel, and if they discover that it is not, he will just charge you an updated amount of the quoted price.

If our technician learns 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 necessary equipment with him. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in the fuel station. We also take all major debit and credit cards as we understand your situation and hence there's no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

You should also pay attention to the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but sometimes the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

A diesel-powered car may also show such signs when someone puts AdBlue straight into the vehicle’s fuel tank. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

Still, there's no need to worry. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can surely help you. Through using the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the problem of wrong fuel in the car, we can let you get back on the road.

• 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.
