Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in West Wick

Petrol in your diesel car in West Wick? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this situatiuon and get you moving once more with our professional fuel drain assistance.

It was before 7 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and I were resting talking over the footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in West Wick and put petrol in her diesel SEAT hire car. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and less concerned. One more job in Somerset well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to use it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations very expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in West Wick (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up the car. They can also handle the normal problems which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain West Wick - West Wick Petrol in Diesel

A customer had broken down just near a road in West Wick. His Smart engine had stopped working and he had no clue what was faulty right up until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the night before and that must have been precisely why.
