Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Eastcote

It was before ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Eastcote and put petrol in a diesel BMW rental in error. She was very affected it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less anxious. Another job in West Midlands well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Midlands we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not knowing how to use it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely never switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in West Midlands to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Eastcote (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete West Midlands Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the typical troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
