On arrival of the technician at your car

If it is not, he won’t render any service linked to the incorrect fuel in the car, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

If, as it is in most cases, it is a problem of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is fully equipped and knowledgeable to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the car with the correct kind of fuel.

We also understand that you may not be taking enough cash with you hence you should know that we also take any major credit card or debit card payments.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

There are other reasons for engine troubles apart from wrong fuel in a car. The existence of water in your fuel also makes your car to show similar symptoms, which include: lack of power, trouble running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. Water is also likely to cause irreparable damage to 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.

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.
