It was just after five pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there going over the recent golf results, waiting for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Kirby Muxloe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things sadly happen. She managed to get the car into a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes from us, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in.

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Leicestershire we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases rather expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Leicestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.
