On getting to your vehicle

The first thing the mobile mechanic will do when he gets to you is to assess the problem. If in the rare occasion he discovers that the problem is not a case of having the wrong kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the vehicle and you will only be charged a minimal call out charge.

If our technician discovers that it is indeed the issue of wrong fuel, he will start solving it right away since he will have fresh fuel as well as the required tools with him. He will remove the mixed fuel, flush fuel system thoroughly and then fill it up with the fresh fuel priced at the same rate as at the petrol station. We also take all major debit and credit cards as we understand your situation and hence there is no need to be worried if you are out of cash.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Putting the incorrect fuel in your vehicle isn’t the only reason for engine problems. Such signs as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. This is a serious problem that can totally damage the fuel filters.

The mistake of putting AdBlue into the fuel (AdBlue: a solution utilized to improve 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 vehicle behave abnormally. Hence, it should only be used by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank instead of being added directly to the fuel.

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

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.
