It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were sitting there going over the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Huthwaite and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car in error. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could find the customer without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Nottinghamshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Nottinghamshire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you discover youself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
