It was after 7 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Whitwick and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental car. The poor lady was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was only a short distance from us, we could reach the woman right away. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Leicestershire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Leicestershire we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Leicestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Whitwick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck 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 the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the common issues that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Whitwick - Whitwick Fuel Rescue

A man phoned us from his home on a street in Whitwick. He pronounced, "My car (a Fiat) is not starting and is creating very bad noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
