Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Snitter

Petrol in your diesel car in Snitter? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this emergency and get you running again with our specialist fuel removal service.

It was close to six pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were relaxing commenting on the football results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Snitter and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus hire car. The unfortunate lady was very irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was just a few miles off from our van, we could find her swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in Northumberland well done in my mind!

In the event you have put the completely wrong fuel in the car and now want a fuel drain you are very likely browsing the web searching for a fast, trustworthy, qualified and reasonably priced fuel drain company in Snitter or Northumberland. In fact, we are the contractor to suit your needs!

Our Areas of Expertise :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northumberland we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Snitter (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Northumberland Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the normal issues which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Snitter - Snitter Wrong Fuel in Car

A motorist had stopped off a street in Snitter. His Renault engine had stopped working and he had no clue what was the problem until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten very little rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
