Wrong Fuel in Car Whatley - Whatley Petrol in Diesel

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and we were on the way to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel Kia in Whatley. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I plugged her location into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I reached the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it a short while back right after my former car, which I had for over twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Somerset lady!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases rather easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of 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 even a number of drums in a garage, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Whatley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will handle any of the normal issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Fuel Drain Whatley - Whatley Wrong Fuel

A man called us from Whatley saying he had mistakenly pumped the wrong fuel in his diesel Kia. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took the specialist approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel from the vehicle. He totally flushed the fuel system and after that put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was completely satisfied and it didn't cost him dealer rates to have the task properly done.

All of our technicians are trained on the most up-to-date cars and their fuel systems. We do over 6 thousand fuel drains every year in the UK (yes, there are that many customers who err - you are certainly not by yourself). Our lines are open 24 hours a day and every day of the week. Our engineers are on duty any time you need them.


Recent Fuel Drains in Whatley

Reports from our own Whatley mechanics:

We did a wrong fuel retrieval job near a beautiful residence in Whatley a few weeks ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to more or less arrive at home when my car stopped." Our technician went out, even though it was quite late at night, and completed a thorough fuel drain and purge on the BMW .

Fuel Rescue Whatley - Whatley Fuel Drain

A customer who had unluckily put the wrong fuel in his diesel Hyundai called us for assistance at the Shell petrol filling station in Whatley. He thought it would be good to fill up before going on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol rather than diesel which probably wasn't a good way to begin to our getaway." It was really no hassle at all for our technician to go along and do the fuel drain. We hope everyone had a good getaway.

Vehicle Misfuel Whatley - Whatley Petrol in Diesel

A week ago a gentleman telephoned us just after his Ford ground to a halt in the middle of a street in Whatley. He had by mistake put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and got to the road before needing to stop. It was yet early in the day and our technical engineer, who lives locally, reached him in about 15 minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, especially at 2 a.m., I really appreciate it."
