It was before eight pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated there talking over the sports, waiting around for the sixth call that day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Brooke and put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another job in Rutland well done in my mind!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Rutland we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Rutland to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Brooke (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Rutland Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to fix the normal troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
