It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting talking about the recent football results, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Wallingwells and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover rental car. The unfortunate thing was very affected apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from us, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Nottinghamshire well done in my mind!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Nottinghamshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances rather easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container at the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Wallingwells (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to handle any of the standard issues which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
