It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting there discussing the weekend's football, ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Brooke and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental car in error. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the woman right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Rutland done well in my books!

Our Services:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Rutland we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not understanding how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Rutland for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Brooke (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Rutland Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your automobile. They will deal with the common problems which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Brooke - Brooke Fuel Rescue

I had a wonderful evening hiking during my day off and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple who were away in Brooke. They had stopped after adding diesel in their MG, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked while I listened to the wife telling off her spouse for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this happens continuously in Rutland and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he yet still had an earful by his wife. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good-bye and considered what my missus would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
