It was around 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the golf results, prepared for the 6th call to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Lenton Abbey and filled petrol in a diesel MINI rental. The poor thing was rather distressed apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from our van, we could reach the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Nottinghamshire well done in my opinion!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Nottinghamshire we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may well produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Nottinghamshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.
