It was just after 7 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the next call that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Shelton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche lease car by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and much less worried. Another job in Nottinghamshire done well in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Nottinghamshire we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Whenever you discover youself to be in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Nottinghamshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Shelton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Nottinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will handle the standard issues which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Shelton - Shelton Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a terrific afternoon cycling on the weekend and felt pleased the next morning as I set off to help a young couple on vacation in Shelton. They conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their Fiat, and the car was roughly an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this problem occurs all the time in Nottinghamshire and that it's nothing to get worried about, however he yet still got an ear bashing. Poor lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
