It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting there discussing the rugby, ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Cromford and put petrol in her diesel modern Audi S8 hire car in error. The poor lady was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very quickly.
Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
Wrong Fuel in Car in DE4 Postcode - Cromford Misfueling
Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an older woman who put petrol in her diesel boss' BMW 600 in Cromford. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded in a backwater lane along the way to see her family. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I turned up at the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was working she told me, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel because I had only acquired it several days ago right after my former car, which I'd had for more than 25 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Derbyshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Cromford
Now I'm not ever too enthusiastic about doing the job on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just departed the family filled with a fantastic Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was off to sort out a man who put the incorrect fuel in his bright yellow BMW 525. He was situated in Cromford hence I arrived on scene very quickly. As I drove up at the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about some harm through driving it?" I said that truth be told there probably should not be any problems and also I'd drain the contaminated fuel quickly for him. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then one more satisfied motorist had the ability to continue his traveling without any subsequent bother. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Derbyshire a little easier to me!

This was most definitely what is called the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and nobody was about. It was fairly uneventful so far, and Brian and I were sitting about reading through some old newspapers. It was an uncommon peaceful time in Derbyshire. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that when the phone inevitably rang I jumped! The voice explained: "I have ended my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in my diesel Ferarri red Daewoo Leganza by mistake". I asked him to tell us just where the vehicle was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Cromford half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the motor and he said thanks for getting there so rapidly. As we were heading back to base we found two young women on the edge of the street who looked like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their delight.
