It was after 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent football rankings, ready for the next job to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Littlethorpe and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things often happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Leicestershire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Wrong Fuel Littlethorpe - Littlethorpe Fuel Rescue

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an old lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Land Rover in Littlethorpe. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural lane on route to see her family. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I got to the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel since I'd just purchased it several days back after my old one, which I'd had for more than 30 years, finally died". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Leicestershire lady!

Our Fields of Specialties:

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Leicestershire we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not knowing the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can potentially bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private 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 remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Littlethorpe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will deal with the common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Littlethorpe

Here are comments and good examples of fuel drains we've completed in Littlethorpe:

We carried out a wrong fuel removal exercise near a lovely house in Littlethorpe recently. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to nearly arrive at home when my car cut out."

Wrong Fuel in Car Littlethorpe - Littlethorpe Wrong Fuel Assist

A woman from Littlethorpe with a full car of kids in her diesel Citroen had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the BP filling station. She phoned us sobbing and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what might happen to her car because of it. We told her that the car would be fine and that she would be back ready to go very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the youngsters on board."
