It was close to 5 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Mark and me were relaxing commenting on the recent football rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Broughton Astley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT lease car in error. She was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to get the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. A job in Leicestershire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Leicestershire we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely don't start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

You should know that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Leicestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Broughton Astley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the typical issues which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
