It was close to 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were seated commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th call that day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Old Basford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat rental in error. The poor lady was fairly irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected spot and, because it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and much less worried. A job in Nottinghamshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Nottinghamshire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find yourself in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can easily cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.
