Wrong Fuel in Car Puriton, Somerset

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Puriton

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Puriton (petrol in diesel Puriton) we are the individuals you need to speak to. We cover the entirety of the Puriton region and all adjoining counties.

It was just after 9 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Puriton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda lease car by mistake. She was quite irritated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from the office, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it if you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue is actually disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases very simply.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Puriton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to handle any of the common issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Puriton - Puriton Fuel Rescue

I'd had a wonderful evening golfing during my holiday and felt satisfied the next morning as I set out to aid a new family who were vacationing in Puriton. They had stopped after inserting petrol into their Kia, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this problem comes to pass quite frequently in Somerset and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. In any case, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
