Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Little Gaddesden

If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car in Little Gaddesden (incorrect fuel Little Gaddesden) we are the guys you need to speak to. We cover the entirety of the Little Gaddesden vicinity and all surrounding sectors.

It was just after 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting talking about the footy results, at the ready for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Little Gaddesden and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car in error. She was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to her swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and much less concerned. Yet another job in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

Services We Give:

Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, leading to serious and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Little Gaddesden (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to take care of the common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Little Gaddesden - Little Gaddesden Fuel Drain

A gentleman phoned us from his home on a street in Little Gaddesden. He pronounced, "My car (a MINI) is not starting up and is making awful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to explain to people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
