Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Nottinghamshire we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not understanding how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Nottinghamshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Sutton on Trent (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Nottinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to handle the typical issues that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
