It was just after 8 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Old Whittington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche rental car in error. The poor thing was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Derbyshire well done in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Derbyshire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical expertise and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Derbyshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Old Whittington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will take care of the common issues which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Old Whittington - Old Whittington Vehicle Misfuel

I appreciated a wonderful day hiking on my off day and felt contented the next working day as I set out to help a new family who were vacationing in Old Whittington. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their Mercedes, and the car was about an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled as I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Derbyshire and that it's in reality nothing to be concerned about, however he yet still got an earful. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my wife would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
