It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were resting there discussing the tennis, prepared for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Great Dalby and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. She was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Leicestershire well done in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Leicestershire we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Leicestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Great Dalby (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the standard problems which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
