Wrong Fuel in Car Fairlie, North Ayrshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Fairlie

If you've put the completely wrong fuel in your car and so need to have a fuel drain you are probably searching the net looking for a quick, dependable, professional and reasonably priced fuel drain company in Fairlie or North Ayrshire. We are the contractor for you!

It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Fairlie and filled petrol in a diesel MINI rental. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could reach the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. Another job in North Ayrshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you?ve poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s composed of a mixture of high-purity ionized water (67.5%) and urea.Adblue is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in North Ayrshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Fairlie (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full North Ayrshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix the usual troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Fairlie - Fairlie Fuel Drain

I'd had a fantastic day golfing on my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a new couple on vacation in Fairlie. They'd stopped after inserting diesel into their Dacia, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife berating her husband for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this situation takes place continuously in North Ayrshire and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, however he still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and considered what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I'd never live it down!
