It was about 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's football results, prepared for the next telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Burton Joyce and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MG lease car. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and not so concerned. Yet another job in Nottinghamshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Nottinghamshire we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And of course be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Burton Joyce (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will take care of the usual issues that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Burton Joyce - Burton Joyce Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a fantastic day golfing during my off day and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a new family on vacation in Burton Joyce. They had pulled over after inserting diesel into their Toyota, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled as I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass everyday in Nottinghamshire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he still got an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
