Other Fuel Services

Aside from remedial services when you have the wrong fuel in the car, we are highly skilled at other solutions like disposing of contaminated fuel. Nearly all customers do not have an inkling of what we do and that it isn't a simple thing. For starters, you have to be tested and authorized by the Environment agency before you can even try to dispose of contaminated fuel and this in no way guarantees that you will have the capability and discipline to stick to the strict code of conduct and regulations spelled out by the agency. This service is readily available to both private and commercial clients. Therefore, as long as they can provide us access, we can dump contaminated fuel in a container, trailer load or fixed large capacity tank. All this is done both safely and legally, not to mention at really competitive costs.

We also solve other fuel contamination problems such as the presence of water in your car's fuel system and AdBlue inadvertently poured directly into the fuel tank. AdBlue is a great substance which can be used to clean emissions in your diesel engine hence making them run cleaner. However, it should only be added in the proper way if it is to work effectively. Not many people understand the risk of AdBlue contamination as evidenced by a high number of people pouring AdBlue directly into fuel tanks.

Water and AdBlue are no match for our technicians and they'll have the tools and knowledge to get you on your way as quickly as possible.

It was around 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were relaxing going over the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Upper Midhope lease car by mistake. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and less concerned. Yet another job well done in my mind!
