It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's tennis, waiting for the 6th call to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Cropwell Butler and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo hire car. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe spot and, as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Nottinghamshire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Nottinghamshire we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists being unsure of how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Nottinghamshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Cropwell Butler (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Nottinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will handle the normal problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Cropwell Butler - Cropwell Butler Wrong Fuel Drain

Yesterday a customer contacted us soon after his Chevrolet cut out in the middle of a street in Cropwell Butler.

It was yet early in the day and our fuel drainer, who lives close by, reached him in about a quarter hour. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle.
