Vehicle Misfuel Bailbrook - Bailbrook Petrol in Diesel

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Sunday and we were off to assist an old sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Audi in Bailbrook. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded on a country lane en route to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the location and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had only just bought it a couple of days ago because my other one, which I owned for more than twenty five years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. Such a pleasant Somerset lady!

Thus, in case you've topped up your petrol vehicle with the wrong fuel, or petrol in your diesel vehicle just about anywhere in Somerset, contact us immediately. Our qualified mechanics are available for your call.

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bailbrook (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the usual problems that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Assist Bailbrook - Bailbrook Petrol in Diesel

A customer had stopped just near a road in Bailbrook. His Mazda engine had stopped working and he had no idea what was awry until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the night before and that could have been precisely why.

We provide you with fresh fuel at petrol station cost, and we are able to usually have your vehicle done and ready to be run in less than an hour. All mixed fuel is disposed of by us by means of a licensed waste transporter and recycled. No matter where you are located in the United Kingdom, Wrong Fuel SoS will be able to get a technician to you to carry out a full fuel drain on your car.

A man phoned us from Bailbrook to state that he had foolishly piped the wrong fuel in to his diesel Volvo. "I can't believe it! How could I put petrol in my nice diesel car!"
