Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Downham

Petrol in your diesel car in Downham? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this emergency and get you running again with our professional fuel removal services.

It was just after 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Downham and put petrol in a diesel Hyundai lease car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe position and, because it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in Lewisham done well in my mind!

Services We Give:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in case you may have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mixture of urea and ionized water.It tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously never start the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Lewisham to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Downham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Lewisham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the common issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
