Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Lidstone

Petrol in your diesel car in Lidstone? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this emergency and get you driving once again with our professional fuel drain assistance.

It was after seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were resting there talking over the recent footy, prepared for the 8th job to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Lidstone and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota lease car in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected position and, since it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Oxfordshire we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is going to result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Oxfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Lidstone (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They can also deal with the most common problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Lidstone - Lidstone Fuel Drain

A guy had stopped near a road in Lidstone. His Land Rover car had stopped working and he had no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten no sleep the day before and that must have been why.
