Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Harpenden

Petrol in your diesel car in Harpenden? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Give us a call and find out how we can aid you to get you back on track again.

It was around five pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were seated there going over the golf results, at the ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Finally we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Harpenden and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat rental in error. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Another job in Hertfordshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made of a mixture of ionized water and urea (32.5%).Adblue is actually devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of fuel in Harpenden (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a 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 (bought at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They can also fix the common issues that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Harpenden - Harpenden Petrol in Diesel

Yesterday a youngster called us right after his Smart cut out in the middle of a road in Harpenden. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel motor and drove to the street before being forced to stop. It was really in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives not far away, reached him in about 20 minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."
