The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!




Once we reach your site

Once our competent technician arrives at your vehicle he will check out 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 nominal fee.

If the technician discovers that it is truly the case of wrong fuel then he will begin fixing it right away as he already has the fresh fuel and the necessary equipment to solve the problem. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced just the same as that charged in 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.

Other Services

Did you Know

You may be curious to know the other services we offer too.

Once our mobile mechanic has emptied out the wrong fuel, they have a full tank of contaminated fuel which needs to be disposed of. You aren’t permitted to pour such things these days as it will pollute waterways and have a harmful effect on the environment, and may even pollute the local water supply. But we can manage it for you since we have the best equipment, and we are accredited by the Environment Agency to do so.

It is also a service that we deliver separately to commercial and private customers at a fee. We have the capacity to drain many types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are located. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and get rid of it safely to the right regulations.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your vehicle behave badly. Symptoms mentioned above for an engine with the incorrect fuel can also be noticed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke appearing out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. In cases of wrong fuel, the fuel filter won't be affected. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

AdBlue is a solution which is used eliminate toxic gases from the engine's exhaust, and if it is put in the diesel tank then it can also cause exactly the same problems. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by someone who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Therefore, it should just be utilized by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

But you don't need to worry since we can fix both issues for you by using similar procedure used in solving the problem of wrong fuel. We are always there to fix your vehicle and get you back on the road no matter if it is a problem of the incorrect fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

We know that the day has been very stressful, but we do hope that we have helped you stay relieved and enabled you to carry on with the journey with ease.

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.

It truly was an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been fairly uneventful so far, and me and Brian were sitting about reading several old articles. That was an unusual restful hour. Actually it was so peaceful that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I leaped! The voice on the other end explained: "I have just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a The Lees in error". We asked him to inform us exactly where the car was situated and we set off, reaching him less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he said many thanks for coming so quickly. As we were returning to base we found two girls at the side of the street who looked like they had a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, much to their delight.
