It was just before ten pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting discussing the recent tennis, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Cotgrave and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes hire car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to find her swiftly. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and much less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Nottinghamshire done well in my books!

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Nottinghamshire we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will often produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Nottinghamshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Cotgrave (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to fix the most common problems that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
