It was around 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the 6th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Lower Horncroft and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda rental car in error. The poor thing was quite affected it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was only a few miles off from our van, we could find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was living at.

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

Tank filled with wrong fuel - Diesel engine filled with petrol fuel is damaging and should be given attention immediately. Your car will begin to show some signs such as an abnormal amount of smoke in the exhaust. It will cough and splutter too. Not only that, starting the engine back is almost impossible once you've switched it off.

Damaging the engine with water - Water contamination typically needs the fuel system to be drained. If not provided fast attention, rust will quickly build up in the engine apart from the spluttering and jolting of the engine. It's common on boats, and is usually due to a jerry can used to carry water being used for fuel without first draining it properly. We'll drain it for you, and we might even be able to assist with replacement filters.

Diesel Tank directly filled with AdBlue - Fuel system can be contaminated if AdBlue is immediately added in the tank. This liquid is misunderstood through money as a fuel additive. It is not. It is a liquid generally utilized to control the emission of smoke in the exhaust. This shouldn't be directly added to the fuel tank but a separate tank ought to be mounted for this purpose. Every day many vehicle owners have done the same mistake but don?t fear because we can help you with that.

Red diesel contamination of your engine - There are over 1500 garages selling red diesel in the UK. So you should not be surprised by the fact that red diesel can end up in your fuel tank. It might occur accidentally while filling from a pump or a jerry can if you're distracted. If that's what you are concerned about, we can have it right quite quickly.

Old Fuel - As time passes by and your car is idle for a long time, the quality of your fuel degrades. This happens if the car is not driven and has been on standby for a long time and the fuel has been in the tank unused. The engine may start and run but there will be problems you'll notice. Draining out the old fuel is a service we are more than capable of doing.
