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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Leicestershire we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations quite expediently.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Leicestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered 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 a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Quorn (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They will take care of the standard issues that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Quorn - Quorn Vehicle Misfuel

I had a wonderful evening golfing during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I was en route to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Quorn. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their MG, and were around half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman berating her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this situation happens continuously in Leicestershire and that it is nothing to stress about, but he in spite of everything had an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted good-bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same blunder... I'd never hear the end of it!
