Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Compton Bishop

Petrol in your diesel car in Compton Bishop? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this hour of need and get you driving again with our specialist fuel removal service.

It was just after 5 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting going over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Compton Bishop and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota hire car. She was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. A job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Compton Bishop (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out 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 perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the normal troubles that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Compton Bishop - Compton Bishop Fuel Removal

A man phoned us from his residence on a close in Compton Bishop. He pronounced, "My car (a MINI) is not starting up and is producing awful sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
