Wrong Fuel in Car Kingslow, Shropshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Kingslow

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Kingslow (petrol in diesel Kingslow) we are the company you need to phone. We cater to the entirety of the Kingslow region and all nearby zones.

It was close to 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and me were relaxing there going over the footy, at the ready for the next call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Kingslow and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda lease car in error. She was rather troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, because it was only a short distance from us, we were able to find her right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and not so concerned. Another job in Shropshire well done in my books!

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical skills and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Vehicle Misfuel Kingslow - Kingslow Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a perfect day cycling during the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set off to assist a new family on vacation in Kingslow. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked as I heard to the lady telling off her spouse for actually being so stupid. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass continuously in Shropshire and that it's actually nothing to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what my wife would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
