Petrol in your diesel motor vehicle in Newtown? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Give us a call and find out how we can assist you to get you back on track once again.

It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Newtown and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda hire car in error. The poor lady was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from our van, we could get to her right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. One more job in Dorset done well in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you may have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue can be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you will likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying in the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Dorset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Newtown (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They are also able to deal with the normal issues that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Newtown - Newtown Wrong Fuel

A while back a man called us when his Fiat ground to a halt along a road in Newtown. He had unintentionally put the wrong fuel in his diesel car and got as far as the road before having to pull over. It was early in the morning and our engineer, who stays not far away, reached him in approximately ten minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 3 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
