Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Nottinghamshire we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not understanding how to use it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances very easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Nottinghamshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Clarborough (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car or truck. They can also handle the typical troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
