Wrong Fuel in Car Burford, Cheshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Burford

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Burford (incorrect fuel Burford) we are the company you need to speak to. We operate throughout the whole of the Burford region and all surrounding parts.

It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing going over the recent sports rankings, ready for the 8th job that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Burford and filled petrol in a diesel MINI lease car. The poor thing was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and not so apprehensive. A job in Cheshire done well in my mind!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cheshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Cheshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Burford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the typical troubles that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
