You arrived and fixed the situation when my vehicle stopped." We purged the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the system meticulously and the driver was able to proceed with his scheduled delivery.



You may have strange symptoms in your car but you are uncertain if it has connected with the presence of wrong fuel. We have heard cases of clients having similar suspicions only for our technicians to realise a whole different issue. To avoid any doubt, try having the following symptoms of the wrong fuel in your fingertip. If you hear your engine spluttering and not running smoothly, or observe a lot of smoke from your exhaust causing no power to the vehicle and hence forcing the vehicle to a stop, then that is clear sign of burning the incorrect fuel.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!



The fact that you now are aware the signs of wrong fuel in car or have experienced it, it will help you notice the problem if it happens again in future.

But there are ways in which you can avoid being in similar situation once more and they include not being in a hurry, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange vehicle which you are not used to traveling in.

Presence of water in fuel is another problem

A sputtering engine with very low power and too much smoke from the exhaust with an eventual stop are also signs of water contamination. It does not matter whether your car uses diesel or petrol, water can also cause it to run roughly and ultimately stop. So you should also be aware of it.

To be able to enhance the cleanliness of modern diesel engines exhausts today, owner uses AdBlue. The proper amount of AdBlue to be added in the fuel system is very essential. It's generally mounted on a separate tank to prevent directly mixing to your fuel tank. If somebody directly added this to your tank not realizing the right tank to put it in, your engine will be in big trouble as it's is incorrect to mix it with fuel. Again, the signs are very like those stated above, and we can put things right for you. Here's our message to you, "whatever happens to your engine, we'll always be your helping hand any time of the day, anywhere you are".


We have the necessary tools and skills

Many people get tempted to handle the problem on their own or seek the help of a close friend who they think is well versed with engines with the hope of saving the repair fee. What they forget is that cheap is pricey and utilizing an untrained person to try solve such a complicated matter like flammable material may result in accidents such as an inferno which may cause big losses including burning down of the vehicle.

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:

    • 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.
