Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Langley Green

Petrol in your diesel car in Langley Green? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this hour of need and get you running once again with our specialist fuel removal service.

It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's sports, waiting around for the 6th call that day to come in. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Langley Green and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, since it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to get to her quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in West Sussex well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Sussex we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in West Sussex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Langley Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car. They can also fix any of the common issues which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Langley Green - Langley Green Vehicle Misfuel

A couple of days ago a man phoned us when his MINI died in the middle of a street in Langley Green. He had accidentally put petrol in the diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to give up. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who resides nearby, reached him in approximately 10 minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your fast response, especially at 4 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
