On getting to your vehicle

And if he discovers that it is not the problem of incorrect fuel in the vehicle, he won’t drain it unnecessarily, and you will just be charged an updated amount which is not equal to the cost of incorrect fuel in a car.

Assuming it is the wrong fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our technicians have all the tools on board and know-how to empty your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and replenish it with good clean fuel of the correct type. Besides, we won’t charge you more on the cost of fresh fuel since we charge the same price as any fuel station. We also know that you may not be carrying enough money with you hence you should know that we also accept any major credit card or debit card payments.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems through the day, they will have a tank filled with contaminated fuel they need to dispose of. Nowadays, there is a serious issue that such fuel could seriously harm the environment or even pollute the water supply so you are not permitted to casually pour it anywhere. We are completely equipped, and Environment Agency certified to safely dump contaminated fuel.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your vehicle behave terribly. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be noticed 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. This case of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

The same set of signs may also be due to somebody attempting to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the car.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your car. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. We can also replace those fuel filters damaged by water.

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
