Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Birtsmorton

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Birtsmorton (wrong fuel Birtsmorton) we are the people you need to speak to. We operate throughout the whole of the Birtsmorton vicinity and all bordering sectors.

It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Ray and I were seated commenting on the weekend's golf results, ready for the next call to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Birtsmorton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Worcestershire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Worcestershire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will likely cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather swiftly.

You should know that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container in the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Worcestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Birtsmorton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill the car. They can also deal with any of the normal troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Birtsmorton - Birtsmorton Wrong Fuel in Car

A motorist had broken down off a road in Birtsmorton. His SEAT motor had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was awry till he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
