Wrong Fuel Doctor Hornsbury - Hornsbury Fuel Rescue

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Sunday and we were on the way to help an older woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai in Hornsbury. I'd been told she had left the filling station and pulled up on a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had just bought it a couple of days ago when my old car, which I used for over thirty years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Somerset lady!

Our Areas of Competency :

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely never start the car - not even to move it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Somerset to take care of taking away 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Hornsbury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the typical issues that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

It can't be fun breaking down in a vehicle filled with the improper fuel in the middle of the street.

The vehicle was chugging and then it died when she came to the entrance of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired inside one hour while she was working. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really relieved you repaired my car."
