It was around 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were resting there talking over the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the next job that day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Castle Donington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental car. She was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to find her right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. Yet another job in Leicestershire done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Leicestershire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases rather swiftly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Leicestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Castle Donington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the standard issues that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
