It was around ten pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were seated discussing the golf rankings, prepared for the 8th job that day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Sedbergh and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could reach her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. One more job in Cumbria well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

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

Wrong fuel added in the tank - Petrol fuel in a diesel engine causes a lot of trouble to your engine. It may start to cough and stall. The exhaust of your car will start to produce a lot of smoke and starting the engine is definitely a difficult task, especially if the engine has already cooled off. Reversing the wrong fuel, diesel in a petrol tank, the signs you will notice are the same. Either way, we can fix it for you.

Damaging the engine with water - Water contamination frequently requires the fuel system to be drained. It causes the engine to rev up, jolt or splutter when you accelerate, and can eventually rust your fuel system. This generally happens to boats ultimately because of the jerry cans utilized in filling the tanks which were not fully checked for water left. We'll drain it for you, and we might even be able to help with replacement filters.

AdBlue in the Fuel Tank - Intentionally done or made by mistake, we can help you fix your engine contaminated with AdBlue. This typically comes about because vehicle owners lack knowledge about AdBlue. Contrary to what many have stated that it is an additive, the reality is AdBlue is a liquid that helps reducethe emission of harmful smoke in your exhaust and this should have a separate tank. A lot of people have been victims of this false belief and we have fixed them quickly.

Red Diesel in the Tank - Accidentally filling the tank is the most typical cause of this. Distraction or not focused in filling the tank from a tank or jerry can is one of the usual reasons of this contamination. This can probably happen as there are 1500 UK garages that sell this kind of diesel. Should this happen to you unexpectedly, just give us a call and we'll do the work for you.

Old Fuel in the Tank - As time passes by and your car or truck is idle for a long time, the quality of your fuel degrades. This happens if the car is not driven and has been on standby for a long period of time and the fuel has been in the tank unused. Your engine might start and run, but it probably will not run as well. Emptying out the old fuel is a service we are more than capable of doing.

Fuel Rescue Sedbergh - Sedbergh Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a fantastic day cycling on my holiday and felt satisfied the next working day as I was on the way to help a new couple who were away in Sedbergh. They'd pulled over after putting diesel into their Chevrolet, and were about an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman telling her man off for actually being so silly. "How could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation comes to pass continuously in Cumbria and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he still got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted good bye and wondered what my missus would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!
