Get out from the vehicle through the nearside door and find the perfect place to position yourself in situations where the car breaks down in the middle of the road. If you have a warning triangle with you, put it a good fifty metres behind the vehicle to give oncoming drivers time to see you and react. If you catch yourself in the middle of the road, immediately leave your vehicle using the nearside door. It would be safer to leave your pet inside the car throughout a breakdown, if you're bringing one.

They then start the procedure of getting rid of all the wrong fuel in your car. In some cases, they may decide to clean or change fuel filters based on how bad they look. Fuel filter can lead to damages as a result of utilizing the wrong fuel and then running the engine with it. It never takes long as our outstanding crews are usually well-equipped.
Not sure if you have pumped the wrong fuel in your car? If so, you do not have a cause for worry because our technician will efficiently examine your vehicle and confirm it and it there is no wrong fuel, we will ask you for a reasonable price.

Other Fuel Services
Besides wrong fuel in the car, we also provide other related services such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Lots of people do not consider disposal to be a relevant service however it is one of the more demanding aspects of the job. It is a difficult procedure because we have to religiously observe the stringent regulations set by the Environment Agency and there has to be legal accreditation before any fuel is gotten rid of. We provide this service to both private and commercial clients. We dispose of all the fuel making use of large capacity tanks, trailer loads, and containers to name but a few. We do this not only safely but also legally.
In addition, we are well-versed in other problems that may negatively influence the normal performance of your car's fuel system. For instance, if you add liquid such as water to the fuel system, it's bad for the engine. As much as AdBlue is a recommended diesel emission cleaner when added straight away to your fuel system, it might cause engine malfunctioning. Therefore, when such situations occur, we are the very best team to cope with it and fix it well.
Water and AdBlue are no match for our technicians and they will have the equipment and knowledge to get you on your way right away.
It truly was what is called the graveyard shift. It was around 3am and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather quiet thus far, and Paul and I were relaxing perusing several old newspapers. This was an unusual quiet moment. Actually it was indeed that calm that when my mobile rang I jumped! The customer on the opposite end said: "I have just concluded my evening shift and foolishly put petrol in my diesel Piccadilly by mistake". We told him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was and we left, ending up under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine and he said thank you for coming out so promptly. As we were heading back home we found two women at the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. As a result we stopped to help them change it, much to their delight.

Wrong Fuel in Car Piccadilly - Petrol in Diesel Car Piccadilly
It was about five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Piccadilly hire car. She was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Yet another job well done in my opinion!

The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she came to the the front of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved in an hour whilst she was in the office. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely delighted you repaired my car."
