On arrival of the technician at your car

The first task that our technician will do once he arrives at your place is to confirm if the problem you reported via our customer care is correct or not - misfuelling. If the finding is negative, no services will be done 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 the technician discovers that it is really the case of wrong fuel then he will start fixing it quickly as he already has the fresh fuel and the required tools to fix the problem. He will quickly remove mixed fuel and then change it with fresh fuel, and we won’t ask you for extra on the fresh fuel. We are aware that you might not be carrying enough cash with you, but you don’t have to worry because we take any common credit or debit card thus you can make use of them to pay.

Other Services

Did you Know

You may be interested to discover the other services we offer too.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems through the day, they will have a tank full of contaminated fuel they have to get rid of. You aren’t allowed to pour such things nowadays as it will contaminate waterways and have a dangerous effect on the environment, and may even contaminate the local water supply. But we can handle it for you since we have the best tools, and we are accredited by the Environment Agency to do so.

It is also a service that we give separately to commercial and private clients at a fee. All you have to do is give us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or other container, we will drain it. We subsequently cart away the polluted liquids and safely dispose of them according to the laid down procedures and laws.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should know that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which can make your engine run abnormally. The presence of water in fuel is another problem which can make your vehicle produce lots of smoke, run irregularly, stop or show signs of no power. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as irreparable damage to the fuel filters.

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

In these situations, we can provide the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can help you to get back on the road. We can also replace those fuel filters compromised by water.

You will be able to continue with your journey immediately

We always try to solve the problem within the shortest time possible so you don’t stay on the road for more than 30 minutes. So try having our services as our mobile mechanic tries to solve your issue. We promise to get you on your way as soon as possible.

Rest assured also that we also deal with other problems resulting from wrong fuel, such as the presence of air in the fuel system or even a low battery, and that we have the skills and tools to make it right.

Thank you for calling us. By doing so, we were hopefully able to deal with your concern of incorrect fuel and allowed you to get back on the road with all the stress gone.

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 and 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.
