It was after eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the recent rugby rankings, ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Glen Parva and put petrol in a diesel MG hire car by mistake. She was very distressed apparently, stating "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we could reach the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. One more job in Leicestershire well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Leicestershire we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Leicestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Glen Parva (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will fix the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Glen Parva - Glen Parva Petrol in Diesel

A customer called us from his home on a close in Glen Parva. He explained, "My vehicle (a Land Rover) is not starting and is creating very bad noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would remedy the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
