It was after 8 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the golf rankings, prepared for the next call to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Lockington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki hire car by mistake. She was very troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that such things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at.

Services We Provide:

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Leicestershire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not understanding how to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Leicestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Lockington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car. They can also take care of the common troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
