It was before eight pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were seated discussing the tennis results, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Stretton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from the office, we could find the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Rutland well done in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Rutland we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations rather expediently.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Rutland to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Stretton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Rutland Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to handle the common problems which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stretton - Stretton Fuel Removal

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening fishing on my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I was on the way to aid a young couple holidaying in Stretton. They pulled over after filling diesel into their Vauxhall, and were close to an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for being so daft. "Just how could you even find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass constantly in Rutland and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he still had an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. In any case, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted farewell and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
