Our Areas of Competence :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Nottinghamshire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually 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 parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Nottinghamshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Radford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your automobile. They will handle any of the normal problems which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
