Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Wallingwells

Wrong fuel in your car in Wallingwells? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this time of need and get you running once more with our specialist fuel drain service.

It was just before 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting talking about the recent rugby, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Wallingwells and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car. The poor thing was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, since it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Nottinghamshire done well in my mind!

Services We Give:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Nottinghamshire we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container lying at the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Nottinghamshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Wallingwells (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Nottinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car. They are also able to fix any of the most common troubles that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Wallingwells - Wallingwells Fuel Removal

A gentleman called us from Wallingwells to say he piped petrol in to his diesel Vauxhall. "What a nightmare! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took the engineer roughly fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He thoroughly purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean fuel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him dealer prices to have the job professionally completed.
