It was close to 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting going over the sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth call to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Alma and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot hire car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from the office, we could find the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Nottinghamshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Nottinghamshire we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Nottinghamshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Alma (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill the car. They are also able to fix any of the typical issues that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Alma - Alma Fuel Rescue

I'd had a great evening hiking during my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I set out to aid a new family who were holidaying in Alma. They conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Toyota, and were around an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this occurs constantly in Nottinghamshire and that it is nothing at all to worry about, even so he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Poor boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
