Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in St Johns

If you've put the completely wrong fuel in your car and right now have to have the wrong fuel removed you are very likely scanning the net on the lookout for a quick, trustworthy, qualified and cost-effective fuel drain company in St Johns or Lewisham. We are the service for your requirements!

It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were seated discussing the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the sixth job that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in St Johns and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental car. She was very distressed it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Lewisham well done in my books!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Lewisham we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously do not start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may well bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Lewisham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in St Johns (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Lewisham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will fix the usual problems which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
