It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's football rankings, ready for the 6th job to come in. Finally we got the call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Alma and filled petrol in her diesel Renault lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to find her without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another job in Nottinghamshire done well in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do in case you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may well bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Alma (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the common problems that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Alma - Alma Wrong Fuel Doctor

A couple of days ago a motorist called us just after his Lexus broke down on a road in Alma. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before having to stop. It was still early in the day and our technician, who stays not far away, got to him in about a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle.
