Filled unleadede in a diesel car in Woodhill? We're sad to hear about that, however we are available to assist. WrongFuelSoS.com has a couple of main catchwords: National and 24 hours a day. And we abide by them meticulously. Residence, side of the road or petrol station assistance wherever in Woodhill and the UK, and any time of day or night.

It was around 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were resting there discussing the recent footy, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Woodhill and filled petrol in a diesel Suzuki lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. A job in Somerset well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely never turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Somerset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.

Run out of fuel in Woodhill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.

They are also able to handle any of the typical issues that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Woodhill - Woodhill Fuel Removal

A man contacted us from his residence on a street in Woodhill. He said, "My car (a Suzuki) is not starting up and is producing awful noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He said that he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
