It was after eight pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were sitting there discussing the golf results, ready for the next fuel drain to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Oakham and put petrol in a diesel Fiat hire car in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from our van, we could find the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in.

Our Areas of Competency :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do in the event that you?ve poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? It is actually damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will often trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container lying at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Rutland for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Oakham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Rutland Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the usual issues that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Oakham, Rutland

Wrong Fuel Oakham - Oakham Fuel Drain

I'd had a terrific evening golfing during my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the next day as I set out to assist a new couple away in Oakham. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their BMW, and were around half an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked while I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this goes on all the time in Rutland and that it's actually nothing at all to stress about, even so he yet still had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never live it down!
