The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!




After arrival

Once our skilled technician arrives at your vehicle he will check your car to verify if it is really the case of wrong fuel in the vehicle. And if it isn't he will not need to do the drain and will just charge you a minimal cost.

The above symptoms are usually an indication of wrong fuel in a car and if we find out that yours is the same problem, we will fix it right away since our technicians carry the required tools and fresh fuel with them. These three reasons should persuade you why we should serve you. The first reason is that we have the abilities to empty out the incorrect fuel and replace it with the right fuel. The second reason is that we charge the similar price for fresh fuel as that charged in a gas station. And the third reason is that we take all types of payment, hence if you don’t have enough cash with you, we will take payments through any major debit or credit card.

Other Services

We also give other services besides fixing the problem of incorrect fuel

We also provide other services to our customers after solving the problem of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Such contaminated fuels need to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the environment and even pollute local water supplies. We are also experts in this field and are authorized by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to use in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

If you are a commercial or private customer needing safe disposal of contaminated fuel, then you can rest assured that you are also in the right place. As long as we have access to its fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or containers, we can properly dump the contaminated liquids at the designed locations.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Besides wrong fuel, water can also cause same signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause extra damage, such as permanent 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. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by someone who has no know-how on how or where it should be added. Hence, it should just be utilized by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than 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, like in the case of filling your tank with the incorrect fuel. It doesn't matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters destroyed by water.

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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
