It was around six pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were resting there going over the recent sports results, at the ready for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Belgrave and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the customer quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Leicestershire well done in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Leicestershire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not understanding how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely never turn over the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases quite quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Leicestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Belgrave (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the most common issues which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Belgrave - Belgrave Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist had stopped just off a road in Belgrave. His Ford car had stopped running and he'd no clue what was wrong till he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got very little rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
