It was just before 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting discussing the recent football rankings, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Hempshill Vale and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG lease car. She was rather irritated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at the woman quickly.

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Nottinghamshire we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

We're able to get out to refill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.
