Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Foul End

Petrol in diesel Foul End? We have the capacity to service the Foul End community rather well because one of our technicians stays close by and is as a result a stone's throw from the action. If you've got petrol in your diesel car in Foul End we'll be glad to come out and do a comprehensive fuel drain. Unleaded in diesel in Foul End need not be a huge problem. We're only a phone call away.

It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were relaxing going over the sports, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Foul End and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche rental car. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance from where we were, we could find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and much less worried. Another job in Warwickshire well done in my opinion!

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Warwickshire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Warwickshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Foul End (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to refill the car. They can also handle any of the typical issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Foul End - Foul End Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer contacted us from his house on a close in Foul End. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Chevrolet) is not starting and is creating awful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
