It was close to 10 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting talking over the recent sports results, waiting for the 6th call that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Gorsethorpe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental car in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was only a short distance away from the office, we could find her right away. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Nottinghamshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Nottinghamshire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously never start the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases rather swiftly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Nottinghamshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Gorsethorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Nottinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also fix any of the usual troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
