It was just after eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were seated there going over the tennis, prepared for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental car in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car to a safe space and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and less stressed. Another job in Leicestershire well done in my opinion!

This is what we do best.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Leicestershire we are identifying progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.
Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.
In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly never crank the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If you have started the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.
You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Removal
Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Leicestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.
