Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Lower Norton

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Lower Norton (wrong fuel Lower Norton) we are the company you need to speak to. We cater to the whole of the Lower Norton area and all bordering zones.

It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing commenting on the recent football, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Lower Norton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental in error. The poor lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and that such things often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to reach her quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. Another job in Warwickshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Warwickshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And of course do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will often cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases rather expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Warwickshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Lower Norton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will handle the typical issues that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
