Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Leicestershire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances very expediently.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Leicestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Appleby Magna (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the typical problems that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
