It was just before six pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were seated there talking over the tennis results, waiting for the next call for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Buckminster and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda lease car. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to reach her right away. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and less stressed. Yet another job in Leicestershire done well in my books!

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Leicestershire we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances very quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Leicestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Buckminster (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill the car. They are also able to handle any of the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Buckminster - Buckminster Wrong Fuel Assist

A man phoned us from his place on a street in Buckminster. He exclaimed, "My car (a Toyota) is not running and is producing dreadful noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us that he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
