It was around five pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were sitting discussing the recent golf, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Willoughby Waterleys and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT lease car in error. She was very troubled it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car into a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in Leicestershire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Leicestershire we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases rather swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Leicestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Willoughby Waterleys (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will handle any of the typical issues which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
