It was around 6 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated there going over the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Nottingham and filled petrol in her diesel Smart rental car in error. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, since it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do if you?ve put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s made out of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).It tends to be harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
