It was before six pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and I were resting there talking over the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Lowdham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at the woman right away. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. A job in Nottinghamshire well done in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Nottinghamshire we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people being unsure of how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases very swiftly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Nottinghamshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Lowdham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Nottinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will fix the usual issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lowdham - Lowdham Fuel Removal

I'd had a great evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I set off to aid a young family on vacation in Lowdham. They pulled over after inserting diesel into their Smart, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling her man off for actually being so confused. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in Nottinghamshire and that it's in reality nothing to be anxious about, but he all the same got an earful. Poor lad. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I waved good bye and thought about what my wife would tell me if I made the very same mistake... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
