AdBlue Contamination

All over Nottinghamshire we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations quite expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Knapthorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They can also fix the common troubles which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.


Fuel Removal Knapthorpe - Knapthorpe Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer had conked out just off a street in Knapthorpe. His BMW motor had ceased working and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle.

He stated that he had gotten very little sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason why.

Stories from our Knapthorpe mechanics:

I am not so hot for carrying out work Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd only just left home following a superb Sunday roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman after he filled the incorrect petrol in his Mercedes. He was situated in Knapthorpe therefore I arrived with him almost immediately. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created some problems by running it?" I explained there probably should not be damage and also that I'd drain the contaminated fuel immediately for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and then yet another pleased customer could carry on with their journey without any fuss. The guy could not stop thanking me, and that is actually what can make working on Sundays in Nottinghamshire a tiny bit less painful to me!

A woman working in Knapthorpe phoned us after she managed to get her wrong fuelled vehicle to work. She had put petrol in her diesel Nissan and, like many people before her, assumed that she would be able to simply fill up the vehicle with diesel and it'd be okay. The vehicle was chugging and then it cut out when she reached the entrance of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved inside an hour or so whilst she was at the office. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely glad you fixed my vehicle."
