Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Nottinghamshire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely never start the engine - not even to move it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very easily.

Take note that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Nottinghamshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Nottingham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car. They will be able to take care of the usual troubles which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A motorist had broken down just off a street in Nottingham. His Skoda motor had ceased working and he'd no idea what was the problem until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that could have been precisely why.
