Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Longtown
Contaminated fuel Longtown? We can service the Longtown community rather well due to the fact that one of our fuel drainers lives locally and is as a result a stone's throw from the action. If you've put petrol in your diesel car wherever in Longtown we'll be glad to come out and do a full fuel drain. Petrol in diesel in Longtown needn't be a huge issue. We're just a call away.
It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Longtown and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and much less anxious. A fuel drain in Cumbria done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :
We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.
AdBlue Contamination
All around Cumbria we are identifying progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.
Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations very quickly.
You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
