It was about eight pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the seventh job to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Whitwick and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental car. She was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles from the office, we could arrive at her without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and less worried. A job in Leicestershire done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Leicestershire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And of course never start the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will often contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases rather expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Leicestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Whitwick (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car. They will be able to deal with the common issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Whitwick - Whitwick Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a terrific day cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I headed out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Whitwick. They stopped after putting petrol into their MINI, and they were around an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs on daily basis in Leicestershire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, however he still got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyhow, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove off I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
