Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Leicestershire we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not understanding the way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to start the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Leicestershire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Pickwell (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your automobile. They will deal with the typical troubles which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Pickwell - Pickwell Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling during the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Pickwell. They had pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Audi, and they were around half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked as I heard to the girl telling off her hubby for being so silly. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass all the time in Leicestershire and that it's truly nothing to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything had an earful. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I waved hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I'd never live it down!
