Wrong Fuel in Car Hey, Lancashire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Hey

If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car and right now need to have the wrong fuel removed you are most likely trawling the net searching for a quick, trusted, professional and cost-effective wrong fuel removal company in Hey or Lancashire. We are the company to aid you!

It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated talking over the recent golf results, at the ready for the sixth call that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Hey and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot hire car in error. The poor lady was very agitated apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

If you have put the wrong fuel in the automobile in Hey we definitely are the company you will have to call. We cater to the entirety of the Hey territory and all bordering towns.

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lancashire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather easily.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Lancashire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Hey (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to take care of any of the standard issues which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Hey - Hey Fuel Rescue

Last friday a young man telephoned us because his Vauxhall broke down along a road in Hey. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got as far as the street before needing to halt. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who lives close by, reached him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your immediate response, especially at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
