Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Ragnall and put petrol in her diesel Ferarri red Cadillac XLR rental by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!"

Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Nottinghamshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will often trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
