Other Services

Other than wrong fuel in a vehicle, we also offer other services associated with it. You should also be familiar with them. For instance, we do help our clients get rid of contaminated fuel. Disposing of this contaminated fuel is not permitted to anyone unless you are qualified to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could damage the environment and possibly pollute the local water supply. We have all it takes to do so since we are not only authorized by the Environment Agency but also have the ideal devices for it.

Getting rid of the contaminated fuel is also a service of its own which we deliver to private and commercial clients. If you are a customer looking for this service, all you have to do is give us access to the fixed, mobile storage tank, or other container where it is kept, and be guaranteed that we will empty them out and then eliminate the contaminated fuel in accordance with the security regulations in place.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Aside from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, signs of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

AdBlue if added wrongly it can also exhibit the same signs in your car. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should just be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If this is added into the fuel tank by someone who knows nothing of AdBlue, the result would be bad for the engine.

But don’t worry as regardless of whether it is a matter of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still in a position to help you.

I had a great afternoon fishing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next working day as I headed out to help a new couple holidaying. They had stopped after filling diesel in their Potten Street, and were about an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I heard to the woman chastising her man for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place all the time and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove down the road I waved bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would tell me if I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
