Fuel Drain Hodgehill - Hodgehill Fuel Rescue

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Wednesday and I was off to assist an elder sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Ford in Hodgehill. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and was broken down along a rural road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only just acquired it a couple of days back after my former one, which I'd used for more than 25 years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely West Midlands lady!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout West Midlands we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in West Midlands to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Hodgehill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car. They will be able to fix any of the most common issues which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.


Fuel Drain Hodgehill - Hodgehill Wrong Fuel

I'd had a great day hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the following morning as I set off to aid a young family vacationing in Hodgehill. They had broken down after putting petrol in their Peugeot, and were about an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this problem happens frequently in West Midlands and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, but he still got his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

All of our technicians are trained on the newest vehicles and their fuel systems. We do in excess of 5,000 wrong fuel removals yearly in the United Kingdom (yes, there are that many individuals who also make the mistake - you are certainly not the only person). Our call centres are open twenty four hours a day and every day of the week. Our technicians are on-call anytime you need to have them.


Recent Fuel Drains in Hodgehill

Tales from our Hodgehill staff:

We completed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise near a beautiful residence in Hodgehill recently. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and was able to more or less get home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and did a thorough fuel drain and purge on the Hyundai to everyone's satisfaction.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hodgehill - Hodgehill Wrong Fuel Drain

A driver from Hodgehill with a full car of children in her diesel BMW had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the Tesco station. She contacted us weeping and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that everything should be alright and that she would be back on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the youngsters in the back."

Vehicle Misfuel Hodgehill - Hodgehill Fuel Removal

The other day a customer telephoned us just after his Fiat ground to a halt on a street in Hodgehill. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in the diesel motor and drove as far as the street before having to halt. It was in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives locally, got to him in less than 10 minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Genuine kudos to you for your prompt response, particularly at 1 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
