It was around 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing talking about the sports rankings, waiting for the next job that day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Granby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that such things happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from us, we could get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. A misfuel correction in Nottinghamshire done well in my books!

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Nottinghamshire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations very expediently.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of old, unusable 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 for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Granby (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to fix the usual troubles that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
