Wrong Fuel in Car Balcombe, West Sussex

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Balcombe

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Balcombe (petrol in diesel Balcombe) we are the guys you need to call. We cater to the entirety of the Balcombe vicinity and all adjoining areas.

It was around eight pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting talking about the recent tennis rankings, ready for the next call of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Balcombe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental in error. The poor thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do if you?ve put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is definitely disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will be dragged into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very easily.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in West Sussex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Balcombe (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill your car. They will handle the normal troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Balcombe - Balcombe Fuel Drain

Yesterday a gentleman phoned us right after his Volkswagen cut out in the middle of a street in Balcombe. He had accidentally put the wrong fuel in the diesel car and managed to get so far as the road before being forced to pull over. It was early in the morning and our technical engineer, who lives locally, arrived with him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in to the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 5 a.m., I am grateful for it."
