We will help to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle the typical problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel will contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations rather quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

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 and 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.
