Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and I was off to assist an old woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Volvo in Brailsford Green. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down on a backwater lane on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the car and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she told me, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a few days ago right after my old car, which I had had for over twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Derbyshire woman!

Fuel Removal Brailsford Green - Brailsford Green Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon golfing during the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I set out to help a new family on vacation in Brailsford Green. They'd stopped after adding diesel into their Skoda, and the car was about half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for being so confused. "How could you actually manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this problem occurs on a regular basis in Derbyshire and that it's nothing to worry about, even so he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky lad. In any case, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I would never ever live it down!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Derbyshire we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Brailsford Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the normal issues that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

I enjoyed a perfect evening golfing on my off day and felt satisfied the next morning as I set out to assist a new couple holidaying in Brailsford Green. They'd pulled over after putting petrol into their Peugeot, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady telling off her man for being so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this occurs quite frequently in Derbyshire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, however he still got his ear bent by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyways, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted farewell and pondered on what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally never live it down!

A few stories:

I am not ever so excited about doing the job on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just departed the wife and kids filled with a tasty Sunday roast cooked for me by the wife, and I was on the way to help a guy because he put the wrong fuel in his Jaguar. He was only in Brailsford Green hence it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the car and got out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on stuff and didn't ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted some problems simply by running it?" I explained that generally there probably should not be any damage and that also I'd drain the wrong fuel quickly. Naturally I drained the fuel from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and so another satisfied motorist was able to continue on their trip without any difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Derbyshire a little better in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Assist Brailsford Green - Brailsford Green Fuel Rescue

A lady from Brailsford Green with a full car of kids in her diesel Toyota had put £40 of petrol at the filling station. She called us sobbing and genuinely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the car should be alright and that she would be back in action soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the youngsters on board."
