Wrong Fuel in Car Nash Lee, Buckinghamshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Nash Lee

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Nash Lee (petrol in diesel Nash Lee) we are the guys you need to get in touch with. We cover the entirety of the Nash Lee territory and all bordering towns.

It was just before 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there talking about the footy rankings, at the ready for the next call for the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Nash Lee and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi rental car. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to move the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car and one way or another were able to get it home or have broken down on the side of the road - we are able to assist. Our service plan is completely mobile and we have the ability to come out no matter where you are and have the automobile drained, cleaned and working once more very quickly - and at an acceptable price!

Our Fields of Specialties:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Buckinghamshire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very quickly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Buckinghamshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Nash Lee (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They can also handle the normal issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Nash Lee - Nash Lee Wrong Fuel Assist

A couple of days ago a young man phoned us because his MINI ground to a halt in the middle of a road in Nash Lee. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the road before needing to pull over. It was still in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who resides not far away, was with him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I am grateful for it."
