It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were resting talking over the recent golf, waiting for the next call to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Birstall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental car by mistake. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly can happen.

Our Areas of Competency :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Leicestershire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical competence and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Leicestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Birstall (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your car.

Wrong Fuel Drain Birstall - Birstall Wrong Fuel Doctor

I appreciated a wonderful day hiking during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next day as I set off to help a young family who were vacationing in Birstall. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their Jaguar, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling off her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this situation comes to pass on a regular basis in Leicestershire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still had an earful. Poor lad. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
