Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Clare

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Clare (wrong fuel Clare) we are the people you need to phone. We serve the entirety of the Clare territory and all bordering zones.

It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Clare and filled petrol in a diesel Audi rental car by mistake. She was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and much less anxious. Yet another job in Suffolk well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in case you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue can be disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course don't crank the engine - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather easily.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Suffolk to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Clare (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to fix the typical problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
