It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's sports, waiting around for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Darfoulds and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover lease car by mistake. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Nottinghamshire done well in my mind!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Nottinghamshire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Nottinghamshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Darfoulds (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Nottinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your automobile. They will deal with any of the normal issues which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Darfoulds - Darfoulds Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a wonderful evening hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the following day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were on vacation in Darfoulds. They had conked out after inserting diesel into their Volvo, and were around half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Nottinghamshire and that it's truly nothing to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted so long and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would personally never ever live it down!
