It was close to 10 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Langold and filled petrol in a diesel BMW rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe area and, because it was just a short distance away from us, we could find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was living at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. A job in Nottinghamshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Nottinghamshire we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course do not start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can potentially trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Nottinghamshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Langold (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car. They are also able to deal with the typical troubles that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
