Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Four Oaks

Petrol in your diesel car in Four Oaks? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this time of need and get you moving again with our specialist wrong fuel removal services.

It was before 8 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting discussing the tennis results, prepared for the 8th job that day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Four Oaks and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo lease car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car to a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and not so worried. One more job in West Midlands done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In West Midlands we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may well cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases quite expediently.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in West Midlands for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Four Oaks (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to fix the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Four Oaks - Four Oaks Fuel Removal

A motorist had broken down just off a road in Four Oaks. His Volvo motor had ceased operating and he'd no clue what was faulty till he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten absolutely no rest the day before and that must have been the reason.
