A somewhat alarmed customer phoned us from the Esso filling station to inform us that he put unleaded into his diesel Frinsted; he wasn't really quite certain how he'd done it. We told him it was no problem and before long had our engineer with him to drain the incorrect fuel from his car. Having removed the contaminated fuel, he was shortly back driving.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!




Once we arrive

The first thing the mobile technician will do when he gets to you is to verify the problem. In the rare case that the problem isn’t incorrect fuel in your vehicle, they will know this prior to doing any more work, and only a minimal call out charge will be made.

If our technician discovers that it is indeed the issue of incorrect fuel, he will start solving it right away since he will have fresh fuel as well as the needed equipment with him. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and refill the tank with fresh fuel priced the same as that charged in the petrol station. You also don't need to worry if you don't have sufficient cash with you, we understand your situation and we will accept any major debit or credit card.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your vehicle function badly. It will make it exhibit the same symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

.Addition of AdBlue straight into the fuel tank of a diesel engine also causes same symptoms. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the vehicle.

Still, there's no need to fret. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can surely help you. We can get you back to your journey after we do the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel. Aside from that, if the damage has extended to your fuel filters, we can replace them on the spot. You don't need to call for another provider to do that.

Other Services

Other than incorrect fuel in a vehicle, we also provide other services associated with it. You should also be aware of them. To name one is disposing of the contaminated fuel the right and lawful way. Getting rid of this contaminated fuel is not permitted to anyone unless you are qualified to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly contaminate the local water supply. Our certification from the Environment Agency makes us capable of discarding contaminated fuels the proper way and legally.

We give this as a service in itself to both commercial and private clients. All you need to do is give us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or other container, we will drain it. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and get rid of it safely and securely to the right regulations.

Just wait for a moment and we'll be there. If you were already growing impatient as you go through our services, you can rest be assured that we will be with you as soon as possible. Also, know that it shouldn’t take us more than thirty minutes to solve the issue, so you can be certain to continue with your journey soon.

Rest assured also that we also deal with other issues resulting from wrong fuel, such as the existence of air in the fuel system or even a low battery, and that we have the abilities and equipment to make it right.

Thus, if you were feeling any kind of stress because of the incorrect fuel issue, now you can feel relieved like nothing had happened and be ready to resume your journey.

It was around five pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the next job that day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Frinsted rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. A job done well in my opinion!
