Petrol in your diesel vehicle in Parton? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Call us and find out how we can aid you to get you up and running again.

It was before 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting talking about the sports results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. Before long we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Parton and filled petrol in a diesel Honda lease car in error. She was rather distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Herefordshire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations quite quickly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Herefordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Parton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will fix the usual problems which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Parton - Parton Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a perfect day hiking during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I was on the way to help a young couple away in Parton. They'd conked out after putting diesel in their Chevrolet, and they were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on frequently in Herefordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he still had his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what my wife would tell me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd never hear the end of it!
