It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were seated there commenting on the sports, waiting for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Anstey and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda rental car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in.

Wrong Fuel Drain Anstey - Anstey Vehicle Misfuel

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were on my way to assist an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Citroen in Anstey. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I had just bought it a couple of days ago right after my former car, which I'd had for more than twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. Such a pleasant Leicestershire lady!

Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do in the event that you?ve put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? It tends to be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the technical know-how and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations very expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Leicestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

We're able to come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home.

Recent Fuel Drains in Anstey

Tales from our own Anstey mechanics:

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval exercise on the drive of a lovely house in Anstey not so long ago. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to almost reach home when my car quit." Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was pretty late at night, and performed a standard fuel drain and purge on the Porsche to everyone's satisfaction.

Vehicle Misfuel Anstey - Anstey Petrol in Diesel

A young lady from Anstey with her little ones in her diesel Mercedes had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She phoned us sobbing and really distraught as she had never wrong fuelled previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that the car should be okay and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the little ones in the back."
