On getting to your location

The first thing the mobile technician will do when he gets to you is to verify the problem. If in the rare occasion he finds 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 car and you will only be charged a nominal call out charge.

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 empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and then replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced the same as that charged in the petrol station. We are aware that you might not be carrying enough money with you, but you don’t have to worry because we take any common credit or debit card thus you can use them to pay.

Other Services

We also give other services aside from fixing the issue of wrong fuel

We also offer other services to our clients after dealing with the problem of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. The contaminated fuel shouldn't be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by an expert in this field because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the environment. You should let us do it for you since we are not only certified by the Environment Agency but also capable of doing it in the proper way, both legally and safely.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we offer to commercial and private clients at a fee. As long as we have use of its fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or containers, we can properly get rid of the contaminated liquids at the designed places.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Putting the incorrect fuel in your car isn’t the only cause of engine problems. Such symptoms as lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Water is also likely to cause permanent damage to fuel filters.

You can also notice the same symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. However, if this is added straight to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If added manually, this should be done by somebody who knows the correct place to put it.

If you are faced with either of these two issues then you shouldn't feel worried because we can solve both of these problems using the same procedure we use in cases of wrong fuel contamination. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is an issue of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

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.

The driver of a Shottenden was regretful that he put petrol in his diesel car when he got as far as the street and it coughed and stopped. "I've gone and put the wrong fuel in my diesel car," is what he shared with us the initial time he called. To be honest, when he initially called us he said he wanted to shop around, but he phoned us back shortly because our rate and arrival times were the most desirable. Not surprisingly, our engineer had him again doing his deliveries well within the time period we'd quoted.
