It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were resting commenting on the rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Oakham and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai hire car. She was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Rutland well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Rutland we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Rutland for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Oakham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Rutland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to deal with the typical problems which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Oakham - Oakham Wrong Fuel

I had a perfect evening golfing on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I was en route to assist a young family who were vacationing in Oakham. They'd pulled over after filling diesel in their BMW, and they were around an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "How could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass continuously in Rutland and that it's actually nothing to stress about, and yet he all the same had an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved so long and considered what my wife would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!
