A motorist conked out on a road in Boughton required a fuel drain roughly a month ago. His Audi was stopped on the road after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he contacted us but a little concerned to get his car out of the road because he was causing some traffic. We arrived in 15 minutes as our drainer was in neighbouring Boughton and had completed his previous job. He said, "I do not believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and stopped right here! My vehicle was not running well I basically were forced to stop and subsequently it just died."

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Nottinghamshire we have seen a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And of course do not switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations quite swiftly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Boughton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Nottinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will handle the normal troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Boughton - Boughton Fuel Drain

I had a perfect afternoon fishing on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I set out to aid a new couple who were holidaying in Boughton. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their Dacia, and were about half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife telling her partner off for being so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem happens on daily basis in Nottinghamshire and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved good-bye and considered what my wife would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
