Wrong fuel in your car in Clapton? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this time of need and get you driving once again with our specialist wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was just before eight pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated talking about the recent footy, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Clapton and put petrol in her diesel Mercedes hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, as it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to find her without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

If you have unleaded in a diesel car or truck, or even diesel in a petrol automobile (and shockingly a lot of people do this at least once at some time) - we take care of it right away. Wrong Fuel SoS' seasoned technicians are available 24/7. Simply call our hotline and they'll come out, drain the contaminated fuel and get you quickly back on the road.

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Berkshire we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly never switch on the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Berkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Clapton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the most common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Clapton - Clapton Wrong Fuel Doctor

A person phoned us from Clapton to state that he had piped the wrong fuel in his diesel SEAT. "What a fool! How could I put the wrong fuel in my beautiful diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer about 50 minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel from the vehicle. He thoroughly flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to have the task professionally performed.
