It was just after six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Windermere and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car. The poor thing was very distressed apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, because it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Cumbria done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Wrong Fuel Windermere - Windermere Wrong Fuel in Car

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on the way to help an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel Suzuki in Windermere. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and broken down in a country lane on route to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I got to the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only just purchased it a few days ago because my previous car, which I used for over thirty years, finally broke down". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Cumbria woman!

Fuel Rescue Windermere - Windermere Wrong Fuel Doctor

A person called us from his house on a close in Windermere. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not running and is generating awful noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would resolve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.

Offered Services:

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cumbria we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may well lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Cumbria to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Windermere (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Cumbria Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the normal problems which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
