Petrol in your diesel car in Portbury? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Call us and find out how we can assist you to get you up and running rapidly.

It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Portbury and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental in error. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. One more job in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Portbury (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car. They can also take care of the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Portbury - Portbury Fuel Rescue

Yesterday a young man phoned us right after his Audi cut out along a road in Portbury. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel motor and was only able to get so far as the road before having to halt. It was really in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives nearby, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, especially at 1 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
