I had enjoyed a fantastic day golfing during my off day and was feeling delighted the following working day as I was on the way to aid a young family who were away. They had stopped after filling diesel into their Woodhouse Mill, and they were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling her partner off for being so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this situation goes on constantly and that it's nothing to worry about, but he still got his ear bent by his missus. Poor lad. Anyways, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

We Get you Going Again

Getting you going again
Safety is always our top priority; this holds true the moment our technician arrives. They will then begin the process of draining the wrong fuel from your vehicle. As well as the fuel tanks itself, if the vehicle has been driven, it will be essential to drain all the fuel lines and possibly even clean or replace the fuel filter. Our mechanic will have the abilities and all the equipment to do this for you and will generally get you on your way within about half an hour.
Maybe you are unsure if you have put the wrong fuel in your vehicle? We understand that prevention is greater than cure and your worry is welcome so in such a case you will only be charged a moderate fee if our technician proves your worries false. However, if there's wrong fuel in the car, it will be drained and flashed from the fuel system. Our technicians also travel with enough fuel to refuel your car after the contamination has been drained out and all that for a forecourt price. Each mechanic also comes equipped with all relevant tools and you will not experience any delays even if your battery is dead and needs some attention. No matter what happens, our main priority remains to be the safety of the car and its passengers; you, therefore, don't have to be worried about being left behind by our technicians- we just leave when you and the vehicle are safely back on the road.
Other Fuel Services
Besides wrong fuel in the car, we also offer other relevant services such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Most people, however, don't know that we do and that it is not a simple task. It is a difficult process because we have to religiously observe the strict regulations set by the Environment Agency and there has to be legal accreditation before any fuel is gotten rid of. This service is readily accessible to both private and commercial customers. Therefore, once they can give us access, we can dispose of contaminated fuel in a container, trailer load or fixed large capacity tank. We do this not merely safely but also legally.
Furthermore, we are well-versed in other issues that may negatively impact the usual performance of your car's fuel system. For instance, if you add liquid such as water to the fuel system, it's bad for the engine. As much as AdBlue is a recommended diesel emission cleaner when added straight to your fuel system, it might cause engine malfunctioning. Therefore, when such situations take place, we are the very best team to deal with it and fix it well.
Just in case any of these liquids, water, and AdBlue, find their way into your fuel system, be assured that our team of professionals with unparalleled skills will remedy the situation.

It was close to ten pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting discussing the rugby, ready for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Woodhouse Mill rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. One more fuel drain well done in my mind!
