When we reach your location

Once the mechanic is at your location and has access to your car, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your car is caused by incorrect fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service linked to the incorrect fuel in the vehicle, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

If, as it is in most situations, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is completely equipped and knowledgeable to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the car with the correct kind of fuel. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we simply ask for the present pump prices. We also know that you may not be taking enough money with you hence you should know that we also take any major credit card or debit card payments.

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 incorrect fuel can also be observed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. This situation of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution used to enhance the cleanliness of engine exhausts) can also cause the above signs. Using AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your car behave abnormally. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should only be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

Whether it is the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using the same process of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we usually use to solve the matter of incorrect fuel in a car. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters destroyed by water.

Other Services

This could be of interest to you.

You might also like to find out if we provide other services aside from solving the issue of incorrect fuel.

We are fully equipped, and Environment Agency certified to safely dispose of contaminated fuel.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we offer to commercial and private clients at a fee. All you have to do is give us access to where the contaminated fuel is stored, it does not matter whether it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or container since we can get to it and get rid of it properly.

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.
