Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Stewarton

Petrol in diesel Stewarton? We can service the Stewarton vicinity rather well because one of our technical engineers stays not far away and is as a result a stone's throw from the action. If you've got petrol in your diesel car in Stewarton we'll be happy to come out and do a full fuel drain. Unleaded in diesel in Stewarton need not be a significant issue. We're merely a phone call away.

It was close to eight pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there talking about the recent footy, waiting around for the sixth job to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Stewarton and filled petrol in her diesel Toyota hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in East Ayrshire done well in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do in the event that you may have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made of a mix of urea and deionized water.Adblue is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And of course don't start the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would very 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 petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can certainly bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty simply.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in East Ayrshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stewarton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full East Ayrshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up the car. They can also handle any of the most common problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Stewarton - Stewarton Wrong Fuel

A couple weeks ago a young man telephoned us because his Land Rover stopped working on a road in Stewarton. He had accidentally put petrol in the diesel motor and got so far as the street before having to give up. It was actually early in the day and our engineer, who stays close by, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I am grateful for it."
