Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Bower Hinton

Petrol in your diesel car in Bower Hinton? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this hour of need and get you going once again with our expert fuel removal assistance.

It was just before 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were resting commenting on the sports, prepared for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Bower Hinton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo lease car. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to move the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly don't start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will likely trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases very easily.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Bower Hinton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the typical issues that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
