It was before 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th call that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Leicestershire and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia hire car. The poor lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in Leicestershire well done in my mind!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Leicestershire - Leicestershire Wrong Fuel
Just had a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a gloomy Monday and I was on my way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel Suzuki in Leicestershire. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station and pulled up along a rural lane en route to visit her family. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was working she explained, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I'd just got it a couple of days back when my previous car, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the drain and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Leicestershire woman!

AdBlue Contamination
In Leicestershire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.
Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.
If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will likely produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very easily.
Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
Waste Fuel Removal
Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Leicestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.
Out of Fuel Support
Out of fuel in Leicestershire (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the usual issues that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
Fuel Rescue Leicestershire - Leicestershire Wrong Fuel
I had a great afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling pleased the next working day as I set out to assist a young family who were holidaying in Leicestershire. They'd broken down after adding diesel into their Hyundai, and were around half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady chastising her hubby for being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this goes on quite frequently in Leicestershire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, but he yet still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

It can't be fun breaking down in a car filled with the incorrect fuel on the road.

Fortuitously we were able to attend him in a rather quick time, bearing in mind the congestion, and he was before long back behind the wheel.
