It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's football results, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Willoughby-on-the-Wolds and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda rental car. She was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in Nottinghamshire done well in my mind!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Nottinghamshire we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Willoughby-on-the-Wolds (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty 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 the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They are also able to take care of the typical issues which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Willoughby-on-the-Wolds - Willoughby-on-the-Wolds Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist had conked out near a road in Willoughby-on-the-Wolds. His MINI car had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was the problem until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got absolutely no sleep the day before and that could have been the reason.
