Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Purton

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Purton (petrol in diesel Purton) we are the company you need to call. We operate throughout the entirety of the Purton vicinity and all nearby locations.

It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's sports results, prepared for the next telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Purton and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe area and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Berkshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you may likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Berkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Purton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the usual troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Purton - Purton Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple of days ago a driver telephoned us when his Jaguar broke down along a street in Purton. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel motor and managed to drive so far as the road before needing to give up. It was in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides not far away, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your immediate response, especially at 1 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
