It was just after 5 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were seated talking about the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Kirkby Woodhouse and filled petrol in her diesel Audi rental car in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Nottinghamshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Nottinghamshire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not knowing how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Fuel Rescue Kirkby Woodhouse - Kirkby Woodhouse Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a perfect day hiking during the weekend and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a new family who were on vacation in Kirkby Woodhouse. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Ford, and were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Just how could you even be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation comes to pass on daily basis in Nottinghamshire and that it's truly nothing at all to get worried about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the exact same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
