Wrong Fuel in Car Newtown, Worcestershire

Our Areas of Expertise:

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Worcestershire we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not being aware of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely do not start up the car - not even to move it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will often produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very quickly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that 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 and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Worcestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Newtown (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty 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 fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to deal with any of the typical troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Newtown - Newtown Fuel Drain

I'd had a wonderful afternoon fishing on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set off to assist a new family who were on vacation in Newtown. They had broken down after inserting petrol into their Jaguar, and were close to an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked while I heard to the wife berating her husband for being so confused. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass on daily basis in Worcestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, but he yet still had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the lad. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove away I shouted farewell and pondered on what my missus would ask me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Newtown

A few of the ordinary circumstances we pick up from the employees in Newtown:

I am not actually too interested in carrying out work Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from home after a tasty Sunday roast cooked by the missus, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman after he put the incorrect petrol in his Land Rover. He was located in Newtown so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up right behind the car and got out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on something else and failed to perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I created any kind of harm by simply running it?" I determined that there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then yet another happy motorist was able to continue on their journey without any difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make working on Sundays in Worcestershire a little bit easier to me!

Vehicle Misfuel Newtown - Newtown Wrong Fuel

A young lady driving in Newtown called us after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had put unleaded in her diesel Dacia and, like countless prior to her, thought that she could simply fill her car with diesel and it'd run alright. The car was coughing and then it cut out when she came to the the front of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired inside 60 minutes while she was at work. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really relieved you repaired my car."
