Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Eastwood

If you've mistakenly put the completely wrong fuel in your car and right now want a fuel drain you are in all likelihood trawling the net hunting for a rapid, reputable, professional and affordable fuel drain company in Eastwood or Herefordshire. We are the contractor for you!

It was about ten pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent sports results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Eastwood and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan lease car. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we could get to the lady quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. Yet another job in Herefordshire well done in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you have poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you may probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will likely produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Herefordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Eastwood (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also fix the standard problems which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Eastwood - Eastwood Wrong Fuel

A motorist had stopped off a street in Eastwood. His Mitsubishi motor had stopped running and he'd no clue what was awry till he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten very little sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
