On arrival of the mechanic at your location

The very first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your location is to confirm if the issue you reported via our customer care is correct or not - misfuelling. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in the car. You won't be charged for the quoted services, instead, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If the technician learns that it is truly the case of wrong fuel then he will start fixing it quickly as he already has the fresh fuel and the needed equipment to solve the problem. He will take away 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 car isn’t the only cause of engine problems. Such symptoms 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 deteriorate the fuel filters.

A diesel-powered car may also show such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

In these situations, we can give 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 incorrect fuel. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. As we deal with your fuel problem, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Other Services

We also offer other services apart from fixing the problem of wrong fuel

We also provide other services to our customers after handling the issue of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. The contaminated fuel should not be disposed of by anyone unqualified, but by an expert in this industry because fuel disposal incorrectly done can pollute the water supply and damage the surroundings. We are also experts in this industry and are authorized by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to use in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.

Getting rid of contaminated fuel is also another separate service that we deliver to commercial and private customers at a fee. If we are given access to the mobile storage tank, fixed storage tank or containers at the given areas, we can easily get rid of contaminated fuels safely.

Don’t worry about waiting for long given that our mobile technician will reach you as soon as possible whilst you go through our services and information, and he should be with you not long from now. We usually take about 30 minutes to solve the issue and enable our clients to hit the road again.

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.
