Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Kintbury

Put wrong fuel in the vehicle accidentally in Kintbury? The primary thing is not to freak out! The second thing is, you need to contact us so we can assist you with the fuel drain. Our firm is SPA licensed, and offers nationwide cover for any person who has unintentionally misfuelled.

It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were resting discussing the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Kintbury and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental in error. The poor thing was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things happen. She was able to get the car to a secure space and, since it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. A job in Berkshire well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

Listed here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you may have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? It is actually disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations pretty expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container in the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Kintbury (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the standard troubles that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
