Wrong Fuel in Car Egginton, Derbyshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Egginton

If you've mistakenly put the wrong fuel in your car and right now require a fuel drain you are most likely scanning the internet searching for a swift, reliable, proficient and a relatively inexpensive wrong fuel removal company in Egginton or Derbyshire. We are the contractor to help you!

It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were sitting talking over the sports, waiting around for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Egginton and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan rental. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and less worried. One more job in Derbyshire done well in my mind!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely do not switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is going to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases fairly quickly.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Egginton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will deal with any of the typical issues which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Egginton - Egginton Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man called us from his house on a close in Egginton. He pronounced, "My car (a Chevrolet) is not starting up and is making very bad sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
