Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Barrow

Wrong fuel in your car in Barrow? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this emergency and get you going once more with our specialist fuel removal services.

It was before eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were seated there commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th job that day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Barrow and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda hire car by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. A job in Suffolk well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Suffolk we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Suffolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Barrow (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix the most common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Barrow - Barrow Petrol in Diesel

A person rang us from his residence on a street in Barrow. He said, "My car (a Ford) is not running and is making very bad noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel car however thought he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us that he'd be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
