A gentleman stopped on a street in Swithland required a fuel drain roughly a few weeks ago. His SEAT was stuck on the side of the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he called us but a bit concerned to get his car off the road as he was generating considerable traffic. We arrived within 15 minutes as our drainer was in neighbouring Swithland and had just concluded a fuel drain. He said, "I simply do not believe I put petrol in my diesel car and stopped here! My vehicle was coughing I simply were forced to stop and then it died."

Wrong Fuel SoS' professional engineers are available 24 hours a day. Just call up our hotline and one will come to you, drain the incorrect fuel and get you rapidly back on your way.

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Leicestershire we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly never start the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations very easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Leicestershire to take care of taking away 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 container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Swithland (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the common issues that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Swithland - Swithland Fuel Drain

A man had stopped near a road in Swithland. His Kia engine had ceased running and he had no idea what was faulty until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got no rest the night before and that could have been the reason.
