Wrong Fuel Doctor Purwell - Purwell Fuel Rescue

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and we were en route to help an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Volvo in Purwell. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and was broken down in a rural lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location in the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel since I had just bought it a few days back after my other one, which I had used for more than 25 years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Hertfordshire lady!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly don't crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Purwell (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

It's no fun breaking down in a car full of the incorrect fuel on the road. Our most recent customer who put contaminated fuel in her car (Toyota) in Purwell encountered literally that kind of problem: "Unfortunately I erroneously filled my car with the wrong fuel recently. I was so upset about the wrong fuel in my car that I was besides myself. Nevertheless I shouldn't have concerned myself as you were marvelous in sorting the problem out."

A lady working in Purwell phoned us after she had tried to get her wrong fuelled car to work. She had put unleaded in her diesel Dacia and, like countless prior to her, believed that she would be able to simply fill up the vehicle with diesel and it'd run okay. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she reached the the front of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved within 60 minutes while she was in the office. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm really pleased you fixed my vehicle."

Wrong Fuel Assist Purwell - Purwell Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a great afternoon cycling during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a new couple vacationing in Purwell. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their Honda, and they were around half an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled while I heard to the wife chastising her man for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this goes on everyday in Hertfordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he yet still got an earful by his missus. Poor lad. Anyhow, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. As they drove away I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would say to me if I made the same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
