Wrong Fuel in Car Lowerhouse, Cheshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Lowerhouse

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Lowerhouse (petrol in diesel Lowerhouse) we are the individuals you need to call. We operate throughout the entirety of the Lowerhouse territory and all adjoining counties.

It was after 9 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing there talking about the footy results, ready for the next call that day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Lowerhouse and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental. The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more job in Cheshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And of course be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty expediently.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Cheshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Lowerhouse (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to fix the standard troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lowerhouse - Lowerhouse Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a terrific day fishing on the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a new family who were on holiday in Lowerhouse. They had broken down after filling diesel in their Toyota, and were around half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman telling her husband off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass frequently in Cheshire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything had an earful. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would say to me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd never live it down!
