Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Leicestershire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations fairly simply.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Leicestershire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Saltby (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill the car. They can also deal with the common problems that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Saltby - Saltby Fuel Rescue

I'd had a fantastic day fishing during the weekend and was feeling contented the next working day as I was on the way to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Saltby. They had broken down after inserting petrol into their Hyundai, and they were about half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked while I listened to the woman telling her partner off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this takes place everyday in Leicestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved good-bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd never live it down!
