Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Icomb

Petrol in your diesel car in Icomb? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this hour of need and get you running once more with our professional fuel removal services.

It was before 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were sitting there going over the weekend's footy results, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Icomb and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall rental in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from our van, we could find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you may have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? It is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And of course take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may well produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite expediently.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Icomb (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will take care of any of the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Icomb - Icomb Fuel Drain

I'd had a great evening fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set off to aid a young family on vacation in Icomb. They had broken down after inserting petrol into their Hyundai, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass on daily basis in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. Anyway, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
