It was just after 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there talking over the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Ayston and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. Yet another job in Rutland well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Rutland we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course never crank the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Rutland to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Ayston (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Rutland Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car. They can also handle the typical troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
