Wrong Fuel in Car Sopley, Hampshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Sopley

Incorrect fuel in your car in Sopley? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this time of need and get you moving once again with our specialist fuel drain assistance.

It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there commenting on the recent footy rankings, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Sopley and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was only a few miles away from the office, we could find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hampshire we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations fairly simply.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Sopley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will take care of the normal problems that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Sopley - Sopley Petrol in Diesel

A customer contacted us from his residence on a close in Sopley. He pronounced, "My car (a BMW) is not starting and is generating awful sounds when I flip the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said he would be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.

Fuel Rescue Sopley - Sopley Wrong Fuel

I had enjoyed a perfect evening hiking during my off day and felt pleased the following morning as I was on the way to help a new couple who were away in Sopley. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their Chevrolet, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this problem occurs everyday in Hampshire and that it's truly nothing at all to worry about, but he all the same got an earful. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what my wife would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

Just picture being stuck in a vehicle with the wrong fuel in the middle of the road.

He removed the wrong fuel from it and had it working once more in just a half-hour. I highly recommend WrongFuelSOS.com."

Wrong Fuel in Car Sopley - Sopley Fuel Removal

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around sunrise and almost noone was about. It was rather dead so far, and me and Mark were relaxing looking at several old magazines. That was an uncommon restful hour in Hampshire. It was indeed that tranquil that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me start! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen by mistake". We told him to tell us where exactly the car was and we headed out, getting to him in Sopley not as much as half an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the motor and he said many thanks for arriving so fast. While we were heading back home we saw two young ladies on the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, to their elation.
