Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Woodford Green

Wrong fuel Woodford Green? We can service the Woodford Green area really well because one of our engineers lives close by and is subsequently not far from the action. If you've put petrol in your diesel car wherever in Woodford Green we'll be completely happy to come out and do a comprehensive fuel drain. Petrol in diesel in Woodford Green need not be a significant crisis. We're merely a phone call away.

It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and me were sitting talking about the weekend's rugby results, ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Woodford Green and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda lease car by mistake. The poor lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in Redbridge done well in my books!

If you've put the wrong fuel in the car or truck in Woodford Green we most certainly are the company you need to contact. We cater to the whole of the Woodford Green area and all adjoining areas.

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Redbridge we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Redbridge to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Woodford Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Redbridge Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the most common problems that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Woodford Green - Woodford Green Fuel Removal

A motorist had stopped near a road in Woodford Green. His Smart engine had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was awry until eventually he noticed he put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that could have been the reason.
