It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the recent tennis rankings, ready for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Harston and filled petrol in her diesel Lexus rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and less worried. Another fuel drain in Leicestershire done well in my mind!

Our Services:

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

Wrong Fuel in the Tank - Diesel engine should be filled with diesel fuel and nothing else to prevent engine problem.

Your engine might begin coughing, you might experience stalling, you may see smoke, and you could have issues starting the vehicle. Adding diesel to a petrol engine leads to similar signs. We can manage to fix either of the two.

Water contamination of your engine - This can rev up your engine and make it thrust or stutter while you accelerate. And even worse, it results in early rusting of your fuel system. This happens quite a lot with the boats. It's because people frequently use water cans to fuel the boats without draining them appropriately. The only solution is to drain clean your fuel tank. That's just what we can do for you and can even offer replacement filters.

Diesel Tank with AdBlue - This contaminant can be added by mistake or intentionally. This typically occurs because car owners lack understanding about AdBlue. AdBlue isn't a fuel additive, it's a liquid that minimizes dangerous emissions from the exhaust, and it is supposed to go in a special tank reserved for the purpose. More motorists are falling foul of AdBlue contamination every day, and it's our job to solve it for you.

Contaminating your tank with red diesel - Red diesel at times finds its way into fuel tanks accidentally. Distraction or not focused in filling up the tank from a tank or jerry can is one of the typical reasons of this contamination. This can likely happen because there are 1500 UK garages that sell this kind of diesel. If it happens to you, we'll handle it quickly and proficiently.

Driving with Old Fuel in the Tank - As time passes by and your car or truck is idle for a long time, the quality of your fuel degrades. This takes place if the car or truck is not driven and has been on standby for a long time and the fuel has been in the tank unused. The engine may start and run but there will be irregularities you'll notice. Draining out the old fuel is a service we are more than capable of doing.

Wrong Fuel in Car Harston - Harston Wrong Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a perfect evening fishing on the weekend and felt pleased the next day as I was en route to assist a young family who were away in Harston. They had pulled over after inserting diesel in their Skoda, and they were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the woman telling off her husband for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this situation takes place quite frequently in Leicestershire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he all the same got his ear bent by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. In any case, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted so long and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
