Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Forest Hill

Contaminated fuel Forest Hill? We have the ability to service the Forest Hill area very well due to the fact that one of our technical engineers lives in the neighborhood and is for that reason not far from the action. If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Forest Hill we'll be happy to come out and do a thorough fuel drain. Unleaded in diesel in Forest Hill shouldn't be a significant crisis. We're merely a telephone call away.

It was after eight pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there commenting on the rugby results, waiting around for the sixth call that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Forest Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia hire car by mistake. She was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She was able to get the car into a safe position and, since it was just a few miles from us, we were able to reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Oxfordshire we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Oxfordshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Forest Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill your car. They can also fix the typical issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Forest Hill - Forest Hill Wrong Fuel

A week ago a motorist phoned us when his Kia ground to a halt along a road in Forest Hill. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in the diesel motor and drove to the road before being forced to stop. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who lives not far away, was with him in about twenty minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
