Fuel Rescue Halstead - Halstead Wrong Fuel Assist

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Wednesday and we were en route to assist an older lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel Suzuki in Halstead. I'd been told she had left the filling station and stranded along a country road en route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel as I had just bought it a short while ago when my previous car, which I had for more than 30 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious Leicestershire woman!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Leicestershire we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank is going to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases rather expediently.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Leicestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Vehicle Misfuel Halstead - Halstead Wrong Fuel in Car

This really was the graveyard shift. It was around 3 in the morning and nobody was around. It was quite quiet so far, and me and Ray were loafing about browsing a couple of old papers. That was an uncommon restful moment in Leicestershire. It was indeed that relaxing that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me start! The person told me: "I completed my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in a Suzuki in error". I told him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was and we hit the road, reaching him in Halstead less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He thanked us for coming so quickly. As we were heading back to base we saw two young women on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, to their elation.

A gentleman phoned us from Halstead to say he stupidly pumped petrol into his diesel Honda. "What a pain! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It took the technician around fifty minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel from the car. He totally purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean diesel in the car. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him dealer prices to have the work properly performed.
