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

Petrol in your diesel car in East Bower? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Call us and find out how we can help to get you back on track once more.

It was about 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in East Bower and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental car. She was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and less anxious. Yet another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in East Bower (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will deal with the standard issues which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel East Bower - East Bower Fuel Rescue

A gentleman rang us from his house on a road in East Bower. He pronounced, "My car (a Dacia) is not starting up and is generating awful noises when I turn the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
