Our Areas of Competency :

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Leicestershire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases very expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Leicestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Kegworth (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will deal with the standard issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Kegworth - Kegworth Fuel Removal

A customer had stopped off a road in Kegworth. His Porsche car had ceased running and he had no idea what was awry right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been the reason.

Recent Fuel Drains in Kegworth

A few reviews:

We got a call from a gentleman whose Jaguar had stopped on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I got the pumps mixed up and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my car by mistake. You guys arrived and resolved the issue when my car gave up." We drained the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel system completely and the customer could go on with his sheduled delivery.

Wrong Fuel Kegworth - Kegworth Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer from Kegworth with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Porsche had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She contacted us crying and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We told her that the car would be okay and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the kids on board."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Kegworth - Kegworth Wrong Fuel

A man phoned us from his house on a close in Kegworth. He explained, "My car (a Peugeot) is not running and is generating awful noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He told us that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
