Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Hampton Lovett

Incorrect fuel in your car in Hampton Lovett? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this hour of need and get you moving once more with our expert fuel removal service.

It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing discussing the recent footy, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Hampton Lovett and put petrol in her diesel Smart rental by mistake. She was rather troubled apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we could find the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Worcestershire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Worcestershire we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely never start the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Worcestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hampton Lovett (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to fix the most common problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hampton Lovett - Hampton Lovett Petrol in Diesel

A week ago a youngster phoned us because his Honda cut out in the middle of a street in Hampton Lovett. He had by accident put unleaded in his diesel car and drove to the road before needing to halt. It was in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives nearby, reached him in about ten minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the car. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, particularly at 6 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
