Wrong Fuel in Car Witham, Essex

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Witham

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Witham (incorrect fuel Witham) we are the people you need to call. We operate throughout the entirety of the Witham area and all surrounding parts.

It was just after 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were sitting there going over the golf rankings, ready for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Witham and put petrol in her diesel MINI rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things can happen. She was able to get the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and much less worried. Yet another job in Essex well done in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties:

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you have poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? It tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Essex to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Witham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also handle the typical issues that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Witham, Essex

Wrong Fuel Assist Witham - Witham Wrong Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a terrific day golfing during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I set out to help a new family away in Witham. They had stopped after filling petrol in their Mitsubishi, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation comes to pass on a regular basis in Essex and that it is nothing at all to stress about, but he all the same got an earful by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
