It was close to five pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting talking about the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the sixth job to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Knighton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot hire car. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the customer without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and much less stressed. Yet another job in Leicestershire done well in my mind!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Leicestershire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations rather easily.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Leicestershire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Knighton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They can also fix the standard troubles which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
