It was before five pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting there talking over the recent football, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Before long we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Ratby and put petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. A job in Leicestershire done well in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Leicestershire we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you end up in this situation don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will often result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Leicestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Ratby (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will deal with the most common issues which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Ratby - Ratby Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist had broken down just off a road in Ratby. His Suzuki engine had ceased functioning and he'd no idea what was the problem until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got zero sleep the day before and that could have been why.
