Other Fuel Services

After cleaning up the wrong fuel in car, we dispose of the fuel in an eco-friendly way because we believe in doing right by all. Many people don't consider disposal to be a relevant service but it's one of the more demanding areas of the job. It is not simple to do so as you must be able to follow the strict rules set by the Environment Agency and must also be authorized by them before you can lawfully get rid of it. We deliver this service to both private and commercial customers. We dump all the fuel using big capacity tanks, trailer loads, and containers to mention but a few. We do this not just securely but also legally.

In case of any fuel system related problems, it's good to note that we can handle whatever is affecting it. An example is if you add any unwanted liquid, say water that may ruin the fuel in the system. Despite AdBlue being the most favored diesel emission cleaner, it wouldn't be a good idea to add it to the fuel system as it may bring about engine malfunction. Therefore, when such situations happen, we are the best team to manage it and fix it well.

Our technicians, equipped with all the needed tools and skills, can deal with your tank problems - whether it is mistakenly added with water or AdBlue.

Reports from our own Hillsborough team:

Wrong Fuel in Car Hillsborough - Petrol in Diesel Car Hillsborough

This really was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been rather dead thus far, and Ray and I were sitting about reading through a few old newspapers. This was an uncommon quiet time. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that the instant the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone said: "I've ended my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my Hillsborough". We asked him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we set off, ending up only an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He thanked us for showing up so rapidly. As we were going back home we found two women on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their delight.
