Other Fuel Services
Aside from wrong fuel in a vehicle, we also provide other related services such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Most people, however, are not aware that we do and that it is not easy. For starters, you have to be tested and certified by the Environment agency before you can even attempt to dump contaminated fuel and this in no way ensures that you will have the ability and discipline to follow the strict code of conduct and regulations spelled out by the agency. This service is readily available to both private and commercial customers. We dispose of all the fuel using big capacity tanks, trailer loads, and containers to mention but a few. All this is done both safely and legally, not to mention at really competitive costs.
In addition, we also cope with other related problems that might affect the normal functioning of your fuel system. An example is if you add any unwanted liquid, say water that may contaminate the fuel in the system. As much as AdBlue is a recommended diesel emission cleaner when added straight to your fuel system, it might cause engine malfunctioning. Therefore, when such situations take place, we are the best team to manage it and fix it well.
Water and AdBlue are no match for our technicians and they'll have the equipment and know-how to get you on your way as soon as possible.

Testimonies from our Lidget technicians:
Wrong Fuel in Car Lidget - Petrol in Diesel Car Lidget
I'd had a perfect afternoon cycling on my day off and felt cheerful with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a new family on holiday. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol into their Lidget, and were roughly an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the lady telling her husband off for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing goes on all the time and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I waved goodbye and pondered on what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!
