It was before 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent footy results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Spion Kop and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was only a few miles from us, we could find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Nottinghamshire we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will likely cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations rather expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the back of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Spion Kop (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Nottinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.

They are also able to take care of any of the normal troubles which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Spion Kop - Spion Kop Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a terrific evening hiking on my day off and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Spion Kop. They had stopped after filling diesel into their Suzuki, and the car was close to half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled as I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this occurs on daily basis in Nottinghamshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
