It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were seated there going over the rugby rankings, at the ready for the next job for the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Wellsborough and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly happen.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Leicestershire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not being aware of the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very quickly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Leicestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Wellsborough - Wellsborough Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a wonderful day fishing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful the next day as I was on the way to assist a young family away in Wellsborough. They conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their Mitsubishi, and were about an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked as I heard to the woman telling her husband off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing happens quite frequently in Leicestershire and that it's in reality nothing at all to worry about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and considered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
